Subject: teach git diff -v/--invert-match?
Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 09:51:16 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48AED264.60600@visi.com> (raw)
I'm wondering what it would take to teach git diff to invert the -S
string (like git grep).
I'm finding git diff -S<string> [--pickaxe-regex] to be really useful,
but find I have cases where I want to ignore differences. For example,
I might not care if the only changes to a Java file, for example, are
related to import statements. I'd like to be able to do something like
"git diff -S'^import' --pickaxe-regex -v". I'll admit I can get by with
something like "git diff -S'^[^i]' --pickaxe-regex", but am pining for
-v/--invert-match.
