Hmm. I had not noticed that option. How do I get that? Sometimes I find the diff listing useful, but mostly not. > Implementing a new diff-mode, and removing the summary part from the > diff-mode would be a real loss of functionality IMHO.

Actually, I'm implementing a new status-mode, and leaving the current diff-mode alone. I'm using symbols for the file status (instead of letters), and a CL struct for the ewoc data. So it is easier to understand and edit. Perhaps it would make sense to change the current diff-mode to be more like what I want. -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Dvc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/dvc-dev
