Issue #7638 has been updated by Dean Wilson.
vi +240 lib/puppet/type/file.rb
<pre>
newparam(:show_diff, :boolean => true, :parent => Puppet::Parameter::Boolean)
do
desc "Whether to display differences when the file changes, defaulting to
true. This parameter is useful for files that may contain passwords or
other secret data, which might otherwise be included in Puppet reports
or
other insecure outputs. If the global ``show_diff` configuration
parameter
is false, then no diffs will be shown even if this parameter is true."
defaultto :true
end
</pre>
This seems to be an option now so this ticket should be closed.

----------------------------------------
Requesting a show_diff metaparameter for file resource (don't think it's used
for any other resource). This is useful when confidential data such as password
exists in config file and we do not want to leak this information via show_diff
which are enabled by options such as puppet apply --noop. Similar to noop this
is a permanent configuration setting for the resource.
file {
'/etc/my.cnf':
content => template('mysql/my.cnf.erb'),
show_diff => false,
}
