Subject: diff --minimal versus --diff-algorithm=minimal
Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2015 19:21:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5655FC3E.7090705@aegee.org> (raw)
Hello,
after I put in ~/.config/git "[diff] algorithm=histogram", and called
"git diff --minimal" I expect from git to use algorithm=minimal. But it
uses histogram, unless I call "--diff-algorithm=minimal". According to
the documentation, however, --minimal and --diff-algorithm=minimal shall
be equivalent.
By the way, histogram produces more compact output than minimal (in
terms of number of lines and in terms of @@ ... @@ snippets), but the
documentation suggests, that minimal produces the most compact form that
can be achieved.
I use git version 2.6.3.385.g1bc8fea.
Greetings
Дилян
