Hi,
I think that:
1. git-status should accept -M<n> -C<n>, same as git-diff
2. git-diff should have an option to omit diff for deleted files
1. git-status incorrectly recognizes some changes as copied, e.g.:
# Changes to be committed:
# copied: SimpleMatcher.h -> BSlashMatcher.h
# copied: SimpleMatcher.h -> StringMatcher.h
# renamed: SimpleMatcher.h -> TabMatcher.h
(generally SimpleMatcher.h is recognized as being copied into many
different headers)
git-diff shows similarity index 50-60%.
git-diff -M80 -C80 correctly stops recognizing this as copies/renames.
I think git-status also should learn -M and -C, as it works the same
way as git-diff with defaults.
2. git-diff does not show diff for copied files. But when a files is
removed, the diff is shown.
I think seeing what was deleted is sometimes useful, but sometimes it
is not and just clutters the
diff.
