Hi,
I just wrote this tiny git-kompare script that I thought some may be
interested in. It basically does a visual diff using kompare. If it
weren't for bugs in kompare, the script would basically do:
git diff --unified=99999 $* | kompare -
As you can see, I really suck at shell programming, so this isn't
intended for being merged, although probably anyone with a clue about
shell can probably rewrite it in a slightly cleaner way. At the moment,
the only case it doesn't handle is when a file gets added and the
initial source is /dev/null.
Bugs it works around are:
- Unrecognised git syntax
(http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kompare-devel/2006-August/000141.html
which is fixed in some later version of kompare I think)
- Kompare doesn't know about /dev/null as a file (fixed only for removal)
- Kompare doesn't like it when the first file in the diff isn't in the
root of the repository.
Hope it's useful for someone (I really like it).
Cheers,
Jean-Marc
