Hello,
Given an initial file with the contents "not to be", which I then change
to "to be", the output of 'git diff --color-words', is
notto be
with the first three letters colored red. To me this seems incorrect as
it implies, or at least misleadingly suggests, that there was no space
between "not" and "to" in the original file. (Even though in that case
the output is actually "nottoto be" with the "notto" in red and "to" in
green.)
If instead I start with a file with contents "to be", which I then
change to "not to be", then the output is as expected:
not to be
(First three letters colored green.)
Am I correct in seeing this as a bug? If so, any tips on what parts of
diff.c to look at when starting a patch?
Thanks,
Simeon
