[PATCH v3] bisect: report the found commit with "show"

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

 



When "git bisect" finds the first bad commit and shows it to the user,
it calls "git diff-tree" to do so, whose output is meant to be stable
and deliberately ignores end-user customizations.

As the output is supposed to be consumed by humans, replace this with
a call to "git show". This command honors configuration options (such
as "log.date" and "log.mailmap") and other UI improvements (renames
are detected).

Pass some hard-coded options to "git show" to make the output similar
to the one we are replacing, such as showing a patch summary only.

Changes compared to v2:
- Adds --no-pager and a comment stating why we do so.
- Adds --diff-merges=first-parent, as per previous discussion.

This seems to generate a final output as close to the previous one as possible, while honouring the user's settings for how to display log entries and calculating diffs.
