The first three are code clean-ups and the last two implements necessary new features to "diff --check". The whole series somewhat depend on the fix to 'maint' not to lose the exit status I sent earlier. [PATCH 1/5] diff --check: explain why we do not care whether old side is binary [PATCH 2/5] check_and_emit_line(): rename and refactor [PATCH 3/5] checkdiff: pass diff_options to the callback [PATCH 4/5] Teach "diff --check" about a new blank lines at end [PATCH 5/5] diff --check: detect leftover conflict markers -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
