diff-highlight: correctly match blank lines for flush We try to flush the output from diff-highlight whenever we see a blank line. That lets you see the output for each commit as soon as it is generated, even if Git is still chugging away at a diff, or traversing to find the next commit. However, our "blank line" match checks length($_). That won't ever be true, because we haven't chomped the line ending. As a result, we never flush. Instead, let's use a simple regex which handles line endings in with the end-of-line marker. This has been broken since the initial version in 927a13fe87 (contrib: add diff highlight script, 2011-10-18). Probably nobody noticed because: - most output is big enough, or comes fast enough, that it flushes anyway. And it can be difficult to notice the difference between "show a commit, then pause" and "pause, then show two commits". I only noticed because I was viewing "git log" output on a repo with a very slow textconv filter. - if stdout is going to the terminal (and not another pager like less), then the flush isn't necessary. So any manual testing would show it appearing to work. You can easily see the difference with something like: echo '* diff=slow' >>.gitattributes git -c diff.slow.textconv='sleep 1; cat' \ -c pager.log='diff-highlight | less' \ log -p That should generate one commit every second or so (more if it touches multiple files), but without this patch it waits for many seconds before generating several pages of output.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt
for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial
or git help tutorial
, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname>
or git help <commandname>
.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration
or git help cvs-migration
if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
