Subject: [RFC] New configuration option "diff.statNameWidth"
Date: Sat, 02 Sep 2023 20:03:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <eb8f524eca3975f086715ec32a8a1fbb@manjaro.org> (raw)
Hello,
I'd like to implement support for a new configuration option named
"diff.statNameWidth" and submit the patch, so I'd like to check first
would that patch be accepted and merged.
Similarly to the already existing configuration option
"diff.statGraphWidth",[1][2] "diff.statNameWidth" as a new configuration
option would limit the width of the filename part in generated diffstat
outputs, just like the command-line option "--stat-name-width=<n>"
already does.
Having "diff.statNameWidth" as a new configuration option would be quite
usable, and it would fit together nicely with the already existing
"diff.statGraphWidth" configuration option. For exaple, I have quite a
few aliases in my ~/.gitconfig that contain "--stat-name-width=<n>", and
having this new configuration option would allow those aliases to be
much shorter. Of course, it would benefit all other uses in which
diffstats are generated.
Please advise.
