Well, perhaps dvc-diff-mode is not the best name for this mode, but the idea is that it is a superset of a diff-mode and a status-mode. You get a short summary at the top, and a diff below. Since it is possible to have a buffer in diff-mode without having the diff at the bottom, that mode really suits the need to run "status". Implementing a new diff-mode, and removing the summary part from the diff-mode would be a real loss of functionality IMHO. The summary is really the part you want to start with as soon as the diff is more than a screen long, and you have the key 'j' to switch from the summary to the diff, and vice-versa. And yes, this mode is usually my primary user-interface (together with the revision-list mode). -- Matthieu _______________________________________________ Dvc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/dvc-dev
