2007-12-17the use of 'tr' in the test suite isn't really portableLibravatar H.Merijn Brand1-1/+1
Some versions of 'tr' only accept octal codes if entered with three digits, and therefor misinterpret the '\0' in the test suite. Some versions of 'tr' reject the (needless) use of character classes.

2007-07-07diff: honor binariness specified in attributesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+12
The code shuffling mistakenly lost binariness specified with the attribute mecahnism and made it always guess from the data. Noticed by Johannes, with two test cases to t4020. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-04-22Support 'diff=pgm' attributeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+97
This enhances the attributes mechanism so that external programs meant for existing GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF interface can be specifed per path. To configure such a custom diff driver, first define a custom diff driver in the configuration: [diff "my-c-diff"] command = <<your command string comes here>> Then mark the paths that you want to use this custom driver using the attribute mechanism. *.c diff=my-c-diff The intent of this separation is that the attribute mechanism is used for specifying the type of the contents, while the configuration mechanism is used to define what needs to be done to that type of the contents, which would be specific to both platform and personal taste.
