[RFC] New configuration option "diff.statNameWidth"

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

 



Hello,

I'd like to implement support for a new configuration option named "diff.statNameWidth" and submit the patch, so I'd like to check first would that patch be accepted and merged.

Similarly to the already existing configuration option "diff.statGraphWidth",[1][2] "diff.statNameWidth" as a new configuration option would limit the width of the filename part in generated diffstat outputs, just like the command-line option "--stat-name-width=<n>" already does.

Having "diff.statNameWidth" as a new configuration option would be quite usable, and it would fit together nicely with the already existing "diff.statGraphWidth" configuration option. For exaple, I have quite a few aliases in my ~/.gitconfig that contain "--stat-name-width=<n>", and having this new configuration option would allow those aliases to be much shorter. Of course, it would benefit all other uses in which diffstats are generated.

Please advise.
