Hello,
I am seeing unexpected behaviour on my system with git-diff and stat-only
changes: diff.autorefreshindex=0 only works when in a repo's config
(./.git/config); it doesn't work via a -c switch. Conversely -c
diff.autorefreshindex=1 does indeed override a 0 setting in the repo's config.
# First I remove all my normal configs.
$ mv ~/.git* ~/stuff/
# Now some setup.
$ mkdir foo && cd foo
$ git init
$ echo 123 > README
$ git commit -am 'initial'
[master (root-commit) 92e793c] initial
...[stuff about name and email address being auto-configured]...
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 100644 README
$ touch README
# Now the strange behaviour: no output from the next command
$ git -c diff.autorefreshindex=0 diff --raw -- README
$ cat .git/config
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
ignorecase = true
precomposeunicode = true
$ echo -e "[diff]\n autorefreshindex = 0" >> .git/config
$ touch README
# Next command works as expected.
$ git diff --raw -- README
:100644 100644 190a180... 0000000... M README
# Next command produces no output as expected
$ git -c diff.autorefreshindex=1 diff --raw -- README
I get this with both git v2.6.4 and v2.7.0 on my OS X 10.11.2. I tried it on
another system (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, git 1.7.9.5) and everything worked as
expected. Somebody else tried it on their OS X 10.11.2 (as well as
10.10.something) with git 2.5.4 and everything worked as expected.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Yours,
Andrew Stewart
