Subject: git log -Sfoo ignores indentation (whitespace?) changes...
Date: Tue, 03 Mar 2009 15:28:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49AD3E78.1050706@sneakemail.com> (raw)
Commits where only the indentation of 'foo' is changed are not shown
with "git log -Sfoo". Is there any way to force showing them along with
other changes involving foo? (E.g. for python, indentation matters!)
Why doesn't the second commit show up in the following?
$ git init
# Create text containing 'line' without whitespace
$ echo 'line' > text
$ git add text
$ git commit -m "first" text
# Here, I add one space of indentation in front of 'line'
$ echo ' line' > text
$ git commit -m "second" text
# git log -Sline shows only the first commit, not the second,
# where the indentation changed.
$ git log -Sline

first
# But clearly, the second commit *also* has changes
# containing 'line':
$ git log -p HEAD~..HEAD

I would like to see both "first" and "second" somehow - can I do that?
