(Wincent pointed out its flaws better than me. Basically,
opendiff is not really diff-like enough.)
And in any case, that launches Filemerge repeatedly
on every file separately, which makes reviewing a large diff
time-consuming and not very helpful.
I know it's not much help to you right now, but when I first asked
about a side-by-side diff viewer back in September I explored creating
a wrapper using GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF and was basically unsatisfied with
the results.
So I decided to write a very simple native Cocoa app (I'm working on
Mac OS X); it was to be a diff viewer and nothing more (not a
repository browser). I was able to spend a few hours on it back in
September but then other things came up so I haven't been able to
finish it, but I do intend to come back to it when time permits. You
can browse the work in progress at:
<http://git.wincent.com/gdiff.git>
Basically consists of a fast Ragel-generated state machine for parsing
git-diff output, patches and email messages, and the beginnings of a
UI. But like I said, not much help to you right now as it can't yet be
used to do anything useful. My goal for it is to provide a nice
experience, above all when reviewing patches on a mailing list (ie.
where your local repository doesn't have the proposed commits in it
yet). In fact, even when run from outside of any Git repo I want it to
at least show the known parts of the files (the context) and provide a
shaded background for the unknown bits.
Cheers,
Wincent
