From f1af60bdba465779df92090ed370988f202ff043 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2007 17:52:55 -0700 Subject: Support 'diff=pgm' attribute 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 = <> 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.
