[PATCH v2 1/3] range-diff: treat notes like `log`

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

 



Currently, `range-diff` shows the default notes if no notes-related
arguments are given. This is also how `log` behaves. But unlike
`range-diff`, `log` does *not* show the default notes if
`--notes=<custom>` are given. In other words, this:

    git log --notes=custom

is equivalent to this:

    git log --no-notes --notes=custom

While:

    git range-diff --notes=custom

acts like this:

    git log --notes --notes-custom

This can’t be how the user expects `range-diff` to behave given that the
man page for `range diff` under `--[no-]notes[=<ref>]` says:

> This flag is passed to the git log program (see git-log(1)) that
> generates the patches.

This behavior also affects `format-patch` since it uses `range-diff` for
the cover letter. Unlike `log`, though, `format-patch` is not supposed
to show the default notes if no notes-related arguments are given.[1]
But this promise is broken when the range-diff happens to have something
to say about the changes to the default notes, since that will be shown
in the cover letter.

Remedy this by co-opting the `--standard-notes` option which has been
deprecated since ab18b2c0df[2] and which is currently only documented in
`pretty-options`.

    showing notes, 2010-01-20).
† 2: log/pretty-options: Document --[no-]notes and deprecate old notes
    options, 2011-03-30
