# NAME

|
git-annex diffdriver - external git diff driver shim
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
git annex diffdriver `-- cmd --opts --`
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This is an external git diff driver shim. Normally, when using `git diff`
|
|
with an external git driver, the symlinks to annexed files are not set up
|
|
right, so the external git driver cannot read them in order to perform
|
|
smart diffing of their contents. This command works around the problem,
|
|
by passing the fixed up files to the real external diff driver.
|
|
|
|
To use, just configure git to use "git-annex diffdriver -- cmd params --"
|
|
as the external diff command, where cmd is the real external diff
|
|
command you want to use, and params are any extra parameters to pass
|
|
to it. Note the trailing "--", which is required.
|
|
|
|
For example, set `GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=git-annex diffdriver -- j-c-diff --`
