It does not know nor care about the index, and we want to keep it that way. Please keep its focus to revision traversal. Perhaps diff-lib.c would be a better home for your helper function. -- 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
