Subject: [PATCH v4] git-gui: shift tabstops to account for the first column of context diffs
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2026 11:09:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2179.v4.git.git.1769684944593.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2179.v3.git.git.1769595640008.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Chris Idema <github_chris_idema@proton.me>

When reviewing a file before staging you want its content aligned using
gui.tabsize. The prefixing of lines with +, - or space characters should
not change this alignment. In gitk this is done correctly. In Git Gui not.

     -    diff.tcl: made alignment of tabs in git-gui diff consistent with gitk
     +    git-gui: shift tabstops to account for the first column of context diffs
      
     -    Tab stop width was not properly rendered in TK regardless of
     -    tab width setting. The + or minus character at start of line made
     -    tabs align incorrectly.
     +    When reviewing a file before staging you want its content aligned using
     +    gui.tabsize. The prefixing of lines with +, - or space characters should
     +    not change this alignment. In gitk this is done correctly. In Git Gui not.
