Linus Torvalds	b5af910727	New "diff-cache" implementation. This one is about a million times simpler, and much more likely to be correct too. Instead of trying to match up a tree object against the index, we just read in the tree object side-by-side into the index, and just walk the resulting index file. This was what all the read-tree cleanups were all getting to.	20 years ago
Junio C Hamano	c5bac17ad2	[PATCH] Usage-string fixes. Usage string fixes to make maintenance easier (only one instance of a string to update not multiple copies). I've spotted and corrected inconsistent usage text in diff-tree while doing this. Also diff-cache and read-tree usage text have been corrected to match their up-to-date features. Earlier, neither "--cached" form of diff-cache nor "-m single-merge" form of read-tree were described.

Junio C Hamano	38357e6703	[PATCH] Teach diff-cache about commit objects Updates diff-cache.c to use read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1() function. The end-user visible result is the same --- the command takes either tree or commit ID. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	e74f8f6aa7	Add "diff-cache" helper program to compare a tree (or commit) with the current cache state and/or working directory. Very useful to see what has changed since the last commit, either in the index file or in the whole working directory. Also very possibly very buggy. Matching the two up is not entirely trivial.	20 years ago
