Subject: [PATCH 3/4] t4211: add tests for -L with standard diff options
Date: Sat, 07 Mar 2026 01:02:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <09e00d3f82ae2a05bd7069cbde0d98400238d78e.1772845338.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2065.git.1772845338.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Michael Montalbo <mmontalbo@gmail.com>
Now that -L output flows through the standard diff pipeline, verify
that previously-ignored diff options work: formatting (--word-diff,
--word-diff-regex, --no-prefix, --src/dst-prefix, --full-index,
--abbrev), whitespace handling (-w, -b), output indicators
(--output-indicator-new/old/context), direction reversal (-R),
--color-moved, and pickaxe options (-S, -G).
