[PATCH 0/6 RFC] Series to correct xutils incomplete line handling.

Message-ID
<alpine.DEB.2.00.0908191713070.2012@GWPortableVCS>

[1/6] Add supplemental test for trailing-whitespace on incomplete lines.

-- This patch is for illustrative purposes only. It exposes the current failures of git diff whitespace ignore options when dealing with trailing- spaces on incomplete lines.

[2/6] through [5/6] Make xdl_hash_record_with_whitespace ignore eof Make diff -w handle trailing-spaces on incomplete lines. Make diff -b handle trailing-spaces on incomplete lines. Make diff --ignore-space-at-eol handle incomplete lines.

-- These alter the record ptr loops to go to the end of the record and to treat the terminator as it would '\n'.

[6/6] Add diff tests for trailing-space on incomplete lines

-- Just the seven test cases that would identify future breakage.
