Subject: [git-users] Re: how to make a 'git add --patch' using --word-diff?
Hey Joe
I'm interested in this feature as well, I was curious if you ever did
request this feature as per Thomas' suggestion.
Sorry for waking this thread up from the dead.

my project have files with very large lines (very common in latex

show hunks like 'git diff' without --word-diff option... and is very
difficult to see whats is the difference
there is any way to see differences word by word in git add?
I doubt this is possible today. As far as I can judge from reading the
docs, git add -p uses the Interactive Mode of git add, which operates on
"hunks". Hunks *are* inherently line diffs, and can even be edited on the
fly during an interactive add, and I guess this is why they can't be
handled as mere diffs.
Of course, this should be possible to implement inside of Git, but I
doubt
it's a feature in high demand.. Most users out there don't stage hunks,
and
most people who do are already used to line-diffs.
You could of course suggest it as a feature to the Git development list.
In the mean time, I would suggest combining two console windows to
achieve
what you want:
- in the first window, run git add -p, and
- in the second run git diff --word-diff to guide you through the
process.
