Fix long standing inconsistency between -c/--cc that do imply -p, on
one side, and -m that did not imply -p, on the other side.
Only the last patch is the actual functional change. The rest of
patches are additional tests and refactorings that are not expected to
alter existing behaviors.
After these patches
git log -m
produces diffs without need to provide -p as well, that improves both
consistency and usability. It gets even more useful if one sets
"log.diffMerges" configuration variable to "first-parent" to force -m
produce usual diff with respect to first parent only.
These series, however, don't change behavior when specific diff format
is explicitly provided on the command-line, so that commands like
git log -m --raw
git log -m --stat
are not affected, nor do they change commands where specific diff
format is active by default, such as:
git diff-tree -m
It's also worth to be noticed that exact historical semantics of -m is
still provided by --diff-merges=separate.
Updates in v3:
* Add test for "diff-tree -m" and mention it in descriptions
* Fix one more typo in descriptions
Updates in v2:
* Fix style and typos in descriptions
Updates in v1:
* Stop parsing distinct diff-index options beforehand, as it could
cause unexpected behaviors. Implement different strategy to avoid
clash of diff-index "-m" and diff-merges "-m".
* Added tests for "git log -m --raw" and "git log -m".
Sergey Organov (10):
t4013: test that "-m" alone has no effect in "git log"
t4013: test "git log -m --raw"
t4013: test "git log -m --stat"
t4013: test "git diff-tree -m"
t4013: test "git diff-index -m"
diff-merges: move specific diff-index "-m" handling to diff-index
git-svn: stop passing "-m" to "git rev-list"
stash list: stop passing "-m" to "git log"
diff-merges: rename "combined_imply_patch" to "merges_imply_patch"
diff-merges: let "-m" imply "-p"
