Re: git-latexdiff: Git and Latexdiff working together

Hi,

your tool seems very useful for LaTeX users, especially in scientific
work. I could not test it in detail until now, but i had two or
three runs with an article draft and it seems to work.

Long story short, i would appreciate it if your tool would be
integrated in git.

Hi,

You may know latexdiff, a neat tool to visualize differences between
LaTeX files (it annotates your .tex file with colors for removed/added
parts, producing another compilable .tex file).

I wrote a little shell-script that allows one to use latexdiff on files
versionned by Git, with e.g.

  git latexdiff HEAD^ --main foo.tex --output foo.pdf

Essentially, it does a checkout of the old and new revisions, and calls
latexdiff + pdflatex for you.

The result is attached in case anyone is interested.

It may be relevant to add this to contrib/ in git.git. If anyone's
interested, let me know, and I'll resend the code in the form of a
patch doing that.

Regards,
