From 02c56314aab9474827cd7831518a970f0341e4fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Keeping Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2013 20:19:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] difftool --dir-diff: symlink all files matching the working tree Some users like to edit files in their diff tool when using "git difftool --dir-diff --symlink" to compare against the working tree but difftool currently only created symlinks when a file contains unstaged changes. Change this behaviour so that symlinks are created whenever the right-hand side of the comparison has the same SHA1 as the file in the working tree. Note that textconv filters are handled in the same way as by git-diff and if a clean filter is not the inverse of its smudge filter we already get a null SHA1 from "diff --raw" and will symlink the file without going through the new hash-object based check.
