delta/git.git/interdiff.c, branch v2.20.5 github.com: git/git.git interdiff: teach show_interdiff() to indent interdiff 2018-07-23T19:50:06+00:00 Eric Sunshine sunshine@sunshineco.com 2018-07-22T09:57:07+00:00 3b026417eaa1f32f53b85d1b131194ae1cbbf068 A future change will allow "git format-patch --interdiff=<prev> -1" to insert an interdiff into the commentary section of the lone patch of a 1-patch series. However, to prevent the inserted interdiff from confusing git-am, as well as human readers, it needs to be indented. Therefore, teach show_interdiff() how to indent.

format-patch: add --interdiff option to embed diff in cover letter 2018-07-23T19:50:06+00:00 Eric Sunshine sunshine@sunshineco.com 2018-07-22T09:57:05+00:00 126facf8219177bc265be725a8579c86ebdf99a5 When submitting a revised version of a patch series, it can be helpful (to reviewers) to include a summary of changes since the previous attempt in the form of an interdiff, however, doing so involves manually copy/pasting the diff into the cover letter. Add an --interdiff option to automate this process. The argument to --interdiff specifies the tip of the previous attempt against which to generate the interdiff. For example: git format-patch --cover-letter --interdiff=v1 -3 v2 The previous attempt and the patch series being formatted must share a common base.
