[PATCH] git-diff: don't squelch the new SHA1 in submodule diffs

From
SVSven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org>
Date
Sep 8, 2007, 10:30 UTC
Message-ID
<20070908103022.GA15229MdfPADPa@greensroom.kotnet.org>

The code to squelch empty diffs introduced by commit fb13227e089f22dc31a3b1624559153821056848 would inadvertently populate filespec "two" of a submodule change using the uninitialized (null) SHA1, thereby replacing the submodule SHA1 by 0{40} in the output.

This change teaches diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch to handle submodule changes correctly.
