Dear all My claim of bug was based on the (?natural) assumption that the header of an hunk
@@ N,M N',M' @@ should show the line N-1 (=N'-1) as title after the @@ ... @@. IF, as René seems to imply (*), the default of git diff is the equivalent of diff -up (-p meaning "show which C function each change is in"), I understand the non-locality of the hunk headers in my examples, even more because they are not C files. If this non-local behaviour is a feature, I propose that this bug is closed or (according to moderators' taste) maybe classed as a wish, the wish(es) being: 1) Please consider adopting the "no hunk header" option (diff -u) as a default for git diff, instead of the diff -up behavior. 2) (In any case) Please document the behavior of git diff for what concerns the choice of hunk headers. Thanks for having taken the time of clarifying me. Ric (*)Apparently the man git diff section GENERATING PATCHES WITH -p does not mention which is the default behavior of git for what concerns hunk headers, so I cannot conferm this statement. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
