Subject: ignore blank line removals
Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2016 10:57:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALj-rGcSrbAiyxPOYD1KCacK_gqi3T5_R=e0H_UfBTqLb5VRmg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
If the contents of a file initially are:
one
three
and on branch A there is a commit, removing the blank line:
one
three
and on branch B there is a commit, adding 'two':
one
two
three
Normally, if you try to merge A into B (or B into A), git recognizes a
decision needs to be made between removing the second line or add
"two" to the second line. It would be convenient to have a merge
strategy that defaults to the latter in cases where the removed line
was a blank line (or a line containing only whitespace) ...something
like -Xignore-blank-line-removals.
