Subject: [PATCH v2] Add reference for status letters in documentation.
Date: Sun, 02 Nov 2008 14:37:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081102133611.6115.51449.stgit@gandelf.nowhere.earth> (raw)
Also fix error in diff_filepair::status documentation, and point to
the in-code reference as well as the doc.
Signed-off-by: Yann Dirson <ydirson@altern.org>

Since diffcore.h is for devs anyway, it is IMHO a good idea to let it
also point to the in-code doc.

+Possible status letters are:

+- A: addition of a file
+- C: copy of a file into a new one
+- D: deletion of a file
+- M: modification of the contents or mode of a file
+- R: renaming of a file
+- T: change in the type of the file

+Status letters C and M are always followed by a score (denoting the
