From 40ce41604daf200cdc85abded0133d40faafc2f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sunshine Date: Sun, 22 Jul 2018 05:57:17 -0400 Subject: format-patch: allow --range-diff to apply to a lone-patch When submitting a revised version of a patch or series, it can be helpful (to reviewers) to include a summary of changes since the previous attempt in the form of a range-diff, typically in the cover letter. However, it is occasionally useful, despite making for a noisy read, to insert a range-diff into the commentary section of the lone patch of a 1-patch series. Therefore, extend "git format-patch --range-diff=" to insert a range-diff into the commentary section of a lone patch rather than requiring a cover letter. Implementation note: Generating a range-diff for insertion into the commentary section of a patch which itself is currently being generated requires invoking the diffing machinery recursively. However, the machinery does not (presently) support this since it uses global state. Consequently, we need to take care to stash away the state of the in-progress operation while generating the range-diff, and restore it after.
