diff --minimal as default?

Victor Engmark· Jan 19, 2012, 13:41 UTC · lore

Git v1.7.8 supports `diff --minimal`. I've got cycles to spare and usually small files - Is there (or will there be) a configuration option to set this as the default? If not I'll just use an alias, but there should still be an inverse option to be able to override it in special cases.

Cheers, V

AFAIK no config option is planned; you could make a patch :-)

But there's --no-minimal, following the usual pattern for boolean options.
