Up until now, the color-words code assumed that word boundaries are identical to white space characters. Therefore, it could get away with a very simple scheme: it copied the hunks, substituted newlines for each white space character, called libxdiff with the processed text, and then identified the text to output by the offsets (which agreed since the original text had the same length). This code was ugly, for a number of reasons: - it was impossible to introduce 0-character word boundaries, - we had to print everything word by word, and - the code needed extra special handling of newlines in the removed part. Fix all of these issues by processing the text such that - we build word lists, separated by newlines, - we remember the original offsets for every word, and - after calling libxdiff on the wordlists, we parse the hunk headers, and find the corresponding offsets, and then - we print the removed/added parts in one go. The pre and post samples in the test were provided by Santi Béjar. Note that there is some strange special handling of hunk headers where one line range is 0 due to POSIX: in this case, the start is one too low. In other words a hunk header '@@ -1,0 +2 @@' actually means that the line must be added after the _second_ line of the pre text, _not_ the first.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks 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. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. 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. 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 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
