I have committed the following fix and will push it out in a few minutes: --8<-- git-gui: Fix diff parsing for lines starting with "--" or "++" Languages like Lua and SQL use "--" to mark a line as commented out. If this appears at column 0 and is part of the pre-image we may see "--- foo" in the diff, indicating that the line whose content is "-- foo" has been removed from the new version. git-gui was incorrectly parsing "--- foo" as the old file name in the file header, causing it to generate a bad patch file when the user tried to stage or unstage a hunk or the selected line. We need to keep track of where we are in the parsing so that we do not misread a deletion or addition record as part of the header.
