Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] blame: make diff algorithm configurable
Date: Sat, 01 Nov 2025 21:57:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2075.v4.git.git.1762034252.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2075.v3.git.git.1761686060477.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Changes since v3:
* fix resetting of diff algorithm by adding XDF_NEED_MINIMAL to
XDF_DIFF_ALGORITHM_MASK
* restore --no-minimal support
* fix typo in description of --minimal option
* remove the 'for now' in test description
* remove piping in tests
* pass configuration variables to the blame command directly instead of
calling 'git config'
Antonin Delpeuch (2):
xdiff: add 'minimal' to XDF_DIFF_ALGORITHM_MASK
blame: make diff algorithm configurable
