Re: git: how to produce context diffs?

["Thomas Kolejka" <Thomas.Kolejka@gmx.at>]

Hello,

I'm using the following script 'external-diff.sh':

--
# path old-file old-hex old-mode new-file new-hex new-mode
# $1   $2       $3      $4       $5       $6      $7

old_hex=$3
new_hex=`git-hash-object $5`

if [ "$old_hex" = "$new_hex" ]
then
	exit 0
fi

echo "diff --git a/$1 b/$1"
echo "index ${old_hex:0:7}..${new_hex:0:7} $4"

diff -L a/$1 -L b/$1 -pc $2 $5

exit 0
--

which can be called by:

export GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=external-diff.sh
git-diff-index master -p > my.patch



Bye,
Thomas Kolejka
