Subject: [PATCH 2/5] userdiff: add diff.<driver>.process config
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 02:11:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3bc127c8000f353e612f654b358394fa5520c435.1779415884.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2120.git.1779415884.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Michael Montalbo <mmontalbo@gmail.com>
Add a new per-driver configuration key that specifies the command
for a long-running diff process.
The name follows filter.<driver>.process: a long-running subprocess
that stays alive across files within a single git invocation.
Signed-off-by: Michael Montalbo <mmontalbo@gmail.com>
