---------------------------------
Summary: Intelligent source code diff comparison based on items in
navigator needed
Key: NETBEANS-420
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-420
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: utilities - Diff
Reporter: codelite
The graphical diff comparison in git can only deal with small changes in source
code files now, if there is a big change in source code, the diff tool can
hardly find the corresponding code parts for comparison, instead it focuses on
irrelevant single line characters like \{ and } as same lines.
I wish it could be improved by figuring out source code items(just as those in
the navigator) for two source code files/versions, and create a jump button in
the middle if the element(function or class) in the left file is not in the
nearby position of the right file, then the right file jumps to position of the
same function or class, resulting a meaningful comparison. The difference graph
lines should be drawn for each element no matter the difference occurs in
nearby positions naturally or after clicking the jump button.
