Subject: b4 custom git diff options (like -B)
Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2024 12:21:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <12393372.O9o76ZdvQC@g550jk> (raw)
Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to make b4 use the "-B" ("--break-rewrites") option for
git diff when sending a patch where this option makes the diff way more
readable than without.
I currently don't see any way to either tell b4 to use this option, or to tell
git to (temporarily) use this option when generating any diff.
For now I'm hacking up b4 in git_range_to_patches to add "-B" to the git show
command there, but I think it would make sense that adding custom options for
a single series was supported with some b4 prep command.
Regards
Luca
