diff-files: show diffs with stage0 and unmerged stage at the same time.

2005-11-30T10:17:51Z

After thinking about it more, I realized that much of the change I did on top of Linus' version does not make much sense. This commit reverts it so that it by default shows diffs with stage0 paths or stage2 paths with working tree; the unmerged stage to use can be overridden with -1/-2/-3 option (-2 is the default so essentially is a no-op). When the index file is unmerged, we are by definition in the middle of a conflicting merge, and we should show the diff with stage 2 by default. More importantly, paths without conflicts are updated in the working tree and collapsed to stage0 in the index, so showing diff with stage0 at the same time does not hurt. In normal cases, stage0 entries should be in sync with the working tree files and does not clutter the output. It even helps the user to realize that the working tree has local changes unrelated to the merge and remember to be careful not to do a "git-commit -a" after resolving the conflicts. When there is no unmerged entries, giving diff_unmerged_stage a default value of 2 does not cause any harm, because it would not be used anyway. So in all, always showing diff between stage0 paths and unmerged entries from a stage (defaulting to 2) is the right thing to do, as Linus originally did. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff-files: -1/-2/-3 to diff against unmerged stage.

2005-11-30T08:14:18Z

While resolving conflicted merge, it was not easy to compare the working tree file with unmerged index entries. This commit introduces new options -1/-2/-3 (with synonyms --base, --ours, and --theirs) to compare working tree files with specified stages. When none of these options are given, the command defaults to -2 if the index file is unmerged, otherwise it acts as before.

Change 'cache' to 'index' in the docs

2005-11-11T23:12:29Z

This patch makes the documentation refer to the index as index instead of cache, but some references still remain. (e.g. git-update-index.txt) Signed-off-by: Lukas Sandström Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

[PATCH] Documentation: Update all files to use the new gitlink: macro

2005-09-20T22:07:52Z

The replacement was performed automatically by these commands: perl -pi -e 's/link:(git.+)\.html\[\1\]/gitlink:$1\[1\]/g' \ README Documentation/*.txt perl -pi -e 's/link:git\.html\[git\]/gitlink:git\[7\]/g' \ README Documentation/*.txt Signed-off-by: Sergey Vlasov Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Big tool rename.

2005-09-08T00:45:20Z

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.

[PATCH] Clean up diff option descriptions.

2005-07-13T20:09:17Z

I got tired of maintaining almost duplicated descriptions in diff-* brothers, both in usage string and documentation. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Update diff documentation.

2005-06-20T03:13:18Z

This updates diff documentation to discuss --find-copies-harder, and adds descriptions for options that were not described earlier. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] diff: Fix docs and add -O to diff-helper.

2005-06-03T18:23:03Z

This patch updates diff documentation and usage strings: - clarify the semantics of -R. It is not "output in reverse"; rather, it is "I will feed diff backwards". Semantically they are different when -C is involved. - describe -O in usage strings of diff-* brothers. It was implemented, documented but not described in usage text. Also it adds -O to diff-helper. Like -S (and unlike -M/-C/-B), this option can work on sanitized diff-raw output produced by the diff-* brothers. While we are at it, the call it makes to diffcore is cleaned up to use the diffcore_std() like everybody else, and the declaration for the low level diffcore routines are moved from diff.h (public) to diffcore.h (private between diff.c and diffcore backends).
