But of course there already is a command line option, so somebody more clever than me must have thought about how to deal with such an impossible settings, and adding a configuration variable to specify the same impossible settings to the system would not make things worse. > Documentation/config/diff.txt | 4 ++++ > Documentation/diff-options.txt | 17 +++++++------- > builtin/diff.c | 1 + > builtin/log.c | 1 + > builtin/merge.c | 1 + > builtin/rebase.c | 1 + Someday, as a follow-up after the dust from this topic settles, we would probably want to look at how these rev.diffopt.* members are initialized and refactor the common code out to a helper. It would allow us to instead of doing this ... > /* Set up defaults that will apply to both no-index and regular diffs. */ > rev.diffopt.stat_width = -1; > + rev.diffopt.stat_name_width = -1; > rev.diffopt.stat_graph_width = -1; > rev.diffopt.flags.allow_external = 1; > rev.diffopt.flags.allow_textconv = 1; ... in many places, do so in a single place in the helper function, and these places will just call the helper: std_graph_options(&rev.diffopt); I do not know offhand if "stat graph options related members" is a good line to draw, or there are other things that are common outside these .stat_foo members. If the latter and the helper function will initialize the members other than the stat-graph settings, its name obviously needs a bit more thought, but you get the idae. Thanks.
