Subject: [PATCH 3/3] range-diff: indent special lines as context
Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2018 13:43:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180817204354.108625-4-sbeller@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180817204354.108625-1-sbeller@google.com>

The range-diff coloring is a bit fuzzy when it comes to special lines of
a diff, such as indicating new and old files with +++ and ---, as it
would pickup the first character and interpret it for its coloring, which
seems annoying as in regular diffs, these lines are colored bold via
DIFF_METAINFO.

By indenting these lines by a white space, they will be treated as context
which is much more useful, an example [1] on the range diff series itself:

[...]
    + diff --git a/Documentation/git-range-diff.txt b/Documentation/git-range-diff.txt
    + new file mode 100644
    + --- /dev/null
    + +++ b/Documentation/git-range-diff.txt
    +@@
    ++git-range-diff(1)
[...]
    +
      diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
      --- a/Makefile
      +++ b/Makefile
[...]

The first lines that introduce the new file for the man page will have the
'+' sign colored and the rest of the line will be bold.

The later lines that indicate a change to the Makefile will be treated as
context both in the outer and inner diff, such that those lines stay
regular color.
