With CVS or SVN, doing a "meld <dirname>" only shows what's
changed underneath the specified directory. When you do that
specifying a subdirectory of a git working copy, meld scans the
entire working copy, and then shows you a view from what is
sometimes a _log_ way further up the diretory tree that what
you requested.
This makes meld a lot less useful for two reasons:
1) For large projects, it can take a long time to scan the
entire project. This is especially annoying when the
directory you specified only contains a handful of files.
2) After the resulting wait, you end up with a lot of unwanted
clutter -- you've got to sift through the results to find
the results you requests.
IOW, when I used CVS and SVN, "meld ." was a extremely useful
command. When usin git -- not so much.
Is this a bug in the git support, a limitation of git itself,
or a design decision?
