[PATCH 5/6] diff: allow lowercase letter to specify what change class to exclude

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date
Jul 18, 2013, 00:30 UTC
Message-ID

In order to express "we do not care about deletions", we had to say "--diff-filter=ACMRTXUB", giving all the possible change class except for the one we do not want, "D".

This is cumbersome. As all the change classes are in uppercase, allow their lowercase counterpart to selectively exclude the class from the output. When such a negated change class is in the input, start the filter option with the full bits set.

This would allow us to express the old "show-diff -q" with "git diff-files --diff-filter=d".
