Subject: make git diff output easier to read - use better diff heuristics
Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2018 17:06:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOmC-AncOZfAwowXLjwDbL9Bdx1+=RbXsrd72LzEBd2W-=LAQg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi, I've came across an issue when using the git diff command. In
particular the diff is different to what the svn diff produces. While
both being correct the output of the svn diff is easier to understand
than the git diff one. See the following issue on github where I
initially reported the issue:

https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1494

I have Included a picture to better illustrate the problem. What do
you think? Is it possible to make git diff output similar to svn diff
regarding this issue?
