Subject: [PATCH] Optionally tell show-diff to show only named files
X-Git-Tag: v0.99~862
X-Git-Url: https://git.verplant.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b8f80925e3cdf229f03245f2ebb02323ddd98118;p=git.git

[PATCH] Optionally tell show-diff to show only named files

SCMs have ways to say "I want diff only this particular file",
or "I want diff files under this directory".  This patch teaches
show-diff to do something similar.  Without command line
arguments, it still examines everything in the dircache as
before.
