From 044fb190f75cdec35e56bde30ec214ab144311d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Sat, 9 Jul 2016 09:23:55 +0200 Subject: diff: fix a double off-by-one with --ignore-space-at-eol When comparing two lines, ignoring any whitespace at the end, we first try to match as many bytes as possible and break out of the loop only upon mismatch, to let the remainder be handled by the code shared with the other whitespace-ignoring code paths. When comparing the bytes, however, we incremented the counters always, even if the bytes did not match. And because we fall through to the space-at-eol handling at that point, it is as if that mismatch never happened.
