[PATCH v2 4/9] diff --color-moved-ws: demonstrate false positives

From
PWPhillip Wood <phillip.wood@talktalk.net>
Date
Nov 23, 2018, 11:16 UTC
Message-ID
<20181123111658.30342-5-phillip.wood@talktalk.net>
In-Reply-To
<20181123111658.30342-1-phillip.wood@talktalk.net>
From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

'diff --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change' can highlight lines that have internal whitespace changes rather than indentation changes. For example in commit 1a07e59c3e ("Update messages in preparation for i18n", 2018-07-21) the lines

-               die (_("must end with a color"));
+               die(_("must end with a color"));

are highlighted as moved when they should not be. Modify an existing test to show the problem that will be fixed in the next commit.
