Tsirkin" , Eric Blake , Fam Zheng , Gerd Hoffmann , John Snow , Stefan Hajnoczi When passed to git-diff (and to every other git command producing diffs and/or diffstats) with "-O" or "diff.orderFile", this list of patterns will place the more declarative / abstract hunks first, while changes to imperative code / details will be near the end of the patches. This saves on scrolling / searching and makes for easier reviewing. We intend to advise contributors in the Wiki to run git config diff.orderFile scripts/git.orderfile once, as part of their initial setup, before formatting their first (or, for repeat contributors, next) patches. See the "-O" option and the "diff.orderFile" configuration variable in git-diff(1) and git-config(1). Cc: "Michael S.
