[PATCH 2/2] diff: add --attr-source to read gitattributes from a commit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: John Cai <johncai86@xxxxxxxxx>

The previous commit allows the diff machinery to read gitattributes from
HEAD when a bare repository is being used.

Some users may want to specify which commit to read gitattributes from.
Teach diff a new --attr-source that can be used to pass in a commit.
