Subject: [PATCH v6 1/5] rebase -i: add --ignore-whitespace flag
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2020 11:10:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200713101045.27335-2-phillip.wood123@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200713101045.27335-1-phillip.wood123@gmail.com>

From: Rohit Ashiwal <rohit.ashiwal265@gmail.com>

Rebase is implemented with two different backends - 'apply' and
'merge' each of which support a different set of options. In
particular the apply backend supports a number of options implemented
by 'git am' that are not implemented in the merge backend. This means
that the available options are different depending on which backend is
used which is confusing. This patch adds support for the
--ignore-whitespace option to the merge backend. This option treats
lines with only whitespace changes as unchanged and is implemented in
the merge backend by translating it to -Xignore-space-change.

 --ignore-whitespace::
+	Ignore whitespace differences when trying to reconcile
