parentdiff: Introduce --diff-algorithm command line option (diff)
downloadtgif-abea4dc76a675d4ac0f27a2367256dc31981d1ca.tar.xz
Merge branch 'mp/diff-algo-config'
Add diff.algorithm configuration so that the user does not type "diff --histogram". * mp/diff-algo-config: diff: Introduce --diff-algorithm command line option config: Introduce diff.algorithm variable git-completion.bash: Autocomplete --minimal and --histogram for git-diff
