From bd8c1a9b49933c766587c65de70a0b8ff518801f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2012 22:08:59 -0700 Subject: diff: correctly disable external_diff with --no-ext-diff Upon seeing a type-change filepair, "diff --no-ext-diff" does not show the usual "deletion followed by addition" split patch and does not run the external diff driver either. This is because the logic to disable external diff was placed at a wrong level in the callchain. run_diff_cmd() decides to show the split patch only when external diff driver is not configured or specified via GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment, but this is done before checking if --no-ext-diff was given. To make things worse, run_diff_cmd() checks --no-ext-diff and disables the output for such a filepair completely, as the callchain below it (e.g. builtin_diff) does not want to handle typechange filepairs.

The current order of precedence is: 1. gitattribute 2. GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF 3. diff.external Usually our rule is that environment variables should take precedence over on-disk config (i.e., option 2 should come before option 1). However, this situation is trickier than some, because option 1 is more specific to the individual file than option 2 (which affects all files), so it might be preferable. So the current behavior can be seen as implementing "do the specific thing if we can, but fall back to this general thing". This is probably not what we would do if we were writing git from scratch, but it has been this way for several years, and is not worth changing. So let's at least document that this is the way it's supposed to work with a test. While we're there, let's also make sure that diff.external (which was not previously tested at all) works by running it through the same tests as GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF.
