From: Junio C Hamano Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2007 20:13:42 +0000 (-0700) Subject: git-diff: resurrect the traditional empty "diff --git" behaviour X-Git-Tag: v1.5.3~8 X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aecbf914;p=git.git git-diff: resurrect the traditional empty "diff --git" behaviour The warning message to suggest "Consider running git-status" from "git-diff" that we experimented with during the 1.5.3 cycle turns out to be a bad idea. It robbed cache-dirty information from people who valued it, while still asking users to run "update-index --refresh". It was hoped that the new behaviour would at least have some educational value, but not showing the cache-dirty paths like before meant that the user would not even know easily which paths were cache-dirty, and it made the need to refresh the index look like even more unnecessary chore. This commit reinstates the traditional behaviour, but with a twist. By default, the empty "diff --git" output is totally squelched out from "git diff" output. At the end of the command, it automatically runs "update-index --refresh" as needed, without even bothering the user. In other words, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness do not even have to see the warning. The traditional behaviour to see the stat-dirty output and to bypassing the overhead of content comparison can be specified by setting the configuration variable diff.autorefreshindex to false.
