Currently, the git diff hunk headers show the wrong method signature if the method has a generic return type because the regex doesn't allow < and > in the return type. This patch adds those. Bug repro: In a repository with .gitattributes containing "*.java diff=java" and a java file --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- class MyExample { public void firstMethod() { // Whatever... } public List<Integer> secondMethod() { // Here is some comment, // and here is more, // and here is even more, // followed by this, // and that, // and even more. return Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); } } --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- when adding the number 6 to the Arrays.asList() call in secondMethod(), the git diff one gets is --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- diff --git a/src/main/java/MyExample.java b/src/main/java/MyExample.java index a0f1a6b..ea37a98 100644 --- a/src/main/java/MyExample.java +++ b/src/main/java/MyExample.java @@ -14,6 +14,6 @@ public void firstMethod() { // followed by this, // and that, // and even more. - return Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); + return Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6); } } --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- where the hunk header shows the signature of firstMethod whereas it should show the signature of secondMethod.
