From b47efd8bddbf0bcbcf531a8115d23a2601958488 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2019 15:42:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] built-in add -p: handle diff.algorithm The Perl version of `git add -p` reads the config setting `diff.algorithm` and if set, uses it to generate the diff using the specified algorithm. This patch ports that functionality to the C version. To make sure that this works as intended, we add a regression test case that tries to specify a bogus diff algorithm and then verifies that `git diff-files` produced the expected error message. Note: In that new test case, we actually ignore the exit code of `git add -p`. The reason is that the C version exits with failure (as one might expect), but the Perl version does not. In fact, the Perl version continues happily after the uncolored diff failed, trying to generate the colored diff, still not catching the problem, and then it pretends to have succeeded (with exit code 0). This is arguably a bug in the Perl version, and fixing it is safely outside the scope of this patch.
