So here is how such a change looks like. I actually have this as a two-patch series in my tree, but here is in squashed-into-one form. The log-tree.c:show_log() function has a logic to create inter/range diff at its end. This function is called early by log_tree_diff(), which is responsible for showing a single commit (log message, auxiliary info like diffstat, and the patch, right before the signature mark "-- " which is given by the format-patch itself). We move that inter/range logic out into a helper function and call it at the original place (which is [1/2] step of the two patch series), which is a no-op refactoring. In the second step, we remove the call out of show_log(), and instead call it at the end of the log_tree_commit() after log_tree_diff() did its thing. This removes the inter/range diff out of the "auxiliary info" section between "---" and the patch and moves it at the end of the patch text, still before the signature mark "-- ". As this makes inter/range diff no longer part of the runs of "commentary block"s, calls to next_commentary_block() is removed from the show_diff_of_diff() helper. As expected, this requires adjustment to t/t4014-format-patch.sh but the fallout is surprisingly small. It may be either an indication that our test coverage for the feature is sketchy, or the tests were written robustly, anticipating that somebody someday may want to move things around in the output this way. log-tree.c | 7 +++---- t/t4014-format-patch.sh | 17 +++++++++++------ 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git c/log-tree.c w/log-tree.c index e7cd2c491f..f28c4d0bb0 100644 --- c/log-tree.c +++ w/log-tree.c @@ -684,7 +684,6 @@ static void show_diff_of_diff(struct rev_info *opt) memcpy(&dq, &diff_queued_diff, sizeof(diff_queued_diff)); DIFF_QUEUE_CLEAR(&diff_queued_diff); - next_commentary_block(opt, NULL); fprintf_ln(opt->diffopt.file, "%s", opt->idiff_title); show_interdiff(opt->idiff_oid1, opt->idiff_oid2, 2, &opt->diffopt); @@ -704,7 +703,6 @@ static void show_diff_of_diff(struct rev_info *opt) memcpy(&dq, &diff_queued_diff, sizeof(diff_queued_diff)); DIFF_QUEUE_CLEAR(&diff_queued_diff); - next_commentary_block(opt, NULL); fprintf_ln(opt->diffopt.file, "%s", opt->rdiff_title); /* * Pass minimum required diff-options to range-diff; others @@ -903,8 +901,6 @@ void show_log(struct rev_info *opt) strbuf_release(&msgbuf); free(ctx.notes_message); free(ctx.after_subject); - - show_diff_of_diff(opt); } int log_tree_diff_flush(struct rev_info *opt) @@ -1176,6 +1172,9 @@ int log_tree_commit(struct rev_info *opt, struct commit *commit) opt->loginfo = NULL; maybe_flush_or_die(opt->diffopt.file, "stdout"); opt->diffopt.no_free = no_free; + if (shown) + show_diff_of_diff(opt); + diff_free(&opt->diffopt); return shown; } diff --git c/t/t4014-format-patch.sh w/t/t4014-format-patch.sh index ba85b582c5..c0c5eccb7c 100755 --- c/t/t4014-format-patch.sh +++ w/t/t4014-format-patch.sh @@ -2482,13 +2482,18 @@ test_expect_success 'interdiff: reroll-count with a integer' ' ' test_expect_success 'interdiff: solo-patch' ' - cat >expect <<-\EOF && - +fleep - - EOF git format-patch --interdiff=boop~2 -1 boop && - test_grep "^Interdiff:$" 0001-fleep.patch && - sed "1,/^ @@ /d; /^$/q" 0001-fleep.patch >actual && + + # remove up to the last "patch" output line, + # and remove everything below the signature mark. + sed -e "1,/^+fleep\$/d" -e "/^-- /,\$d" 0001-fleep.patch >actual && + + # fabricate Interdiff output. + git diff boop~2 boop >inter && + { + echo "Interdiff:" && + sed -e "s/^/ /" inter + } >expect && test_cmp expect actual '
