*config.txt: stick to camelCase naming convention

This should improve readability. Compare "thislongname" and "thisLongName". The following keys are left in unchanged. We can decide what to do with them later. - am.keepcr - core.autocrlf .safecrlf .trustctime - diff.dirstat .noprefix - gitcvs.usecrlfattr - gui.blamehistoryctx .trustmtime - pull.twohead - receive.autogc - sendemail.signedoffbycc .smtpsslcertpath .suppresscc Helped-by: Eric Sunshine Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: move description of -s, --no-patch to diff-options.txt

2013-07-18T00:50:56Z

Technically, "-s, --no-patch" is implemented in diff.c ("git diff --no-patch" is essentially useless, but valid). From the user point of view, this allows the documentation to show up in "git show --help", which is one of the most useful use of the option. While we're there, add a sentence explaining why the option can be useful. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy Reviewed-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

The default similarity index of 50% is documented in gitdiffcore(7) but it is worth also mentioning it in the description of the -M/--find-renames option. Signed-off-by: Fraser Tweedale Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'ap/diff-ignore-blank-lines'

2013-06-30T22:39:53Z

"git diff" learned a mode that ignores hunks whose change consists only of additions and removals of blank lines, which is the same as "diff -B" (ignore blank lines) of GNU diff. * ap/diff-ignore-blank-lines: diff: add --ignore-blank-lines option

diff: add --ignore-blank-lines option

2013-06-19T22:17:45Z

The goal of the patch is to introduce the GNU diff -B/--ignore-blank-lines as closely as possible. The short option is not available because it's already used for "break-rewrites". When this option is used, git-diff will not create hunks that simply add or remove empty lines, but will still show empty lines addition/suppression if they are close enough to "valuable" changes. There are two differences between this option and GNU diff -B option: - GNU diff doesn't have "--inter-hunk-context", so this must be handled - The following sequence looks like a bug (context is displayed twice): $ seq 5 >file1 $ cat <file2 change 1 2 3 4 5 change EOF $ diff -u -B file1 file2 --- file1 2013-06-08 22:13:04.471517834 +0200 +++ file2 2013-06-08 22:13:23.275517855 +0200 @@ -1,5 +1,7 @@ +change 1 2 + 3 4 5 @@ -3,3 +5,4 @@ 3 4 5 +change So here is a more thorough description of the option: - real changes are interesting - blank lines that are close enough (less than context size) to interesting changes are considered interesting (recursive definition) - "context" lines are used around each hunk of interesting changes - If two hunks are separated by less than "inter-hunk-context", they will be merged into one. The implementation does the "interesting changes selection" in a single pass. Signed-off-by: Antoine Pelisse Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
