Re: git: how to produce context diffs?

Hello,

I'm using the following script 'external-diff.sh':

-- # path old-file old-hex old-mode new-file new-hex new-mode # $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7

old_hex=$3 new_hex=`git-hash-object $5`

if [ "$old_hex" = "$new_hex" ]
then
	exit 0
fi

echo "diff --git a/$1 b/$1" echo "index ${old_hex:0:7}..${new_hex:0:7} $4"

diff -L a/$1 -L b/$1 -pc $2 $5

exit 0 --

which can be called by:

export GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=external-diff.sh git-diff-index master -p > my.patch

Bye, Thomas Kolejka
