Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] line-log: allow non-patch diff formats with -L
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 19:40:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <10a3d8dde2dbc16fd7918f1196065b06151d496a.1779738059.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2094.v2.git.1779738059.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Michael Montalbo <mmontalbo@gmail.com>

Now that -L flows through log_tree_diff_flush() and diff_flush(),
metadata-only diff formats work because they only read filepair
fields (status, mode, path, oid) already set on the pre-computed
pairs.

Expand the allowlist in setup_revisions() to also accept --raw,
--name-only, --name-status, and --summary.  Diff stat formats
(--stat, --numstat, --shortstat, --dirstat) remain blocked because
they call compute_diffstat() on full blob content and would show
whole-file statistics rather than range-scoped ones.
