Hi there- hope you developers don't mind a (potential) end-users question: just discovered gitstat, and am really interested in the diff viewing/reporting feature. I do QA on code releases, and am looking for a tool that will highlight what's changed at a directory/file level, and then let me see the individual changes. GitStat is the first tool I've found that shows differences at the file hierarchy level. I'm thinking I could create a git repo, and check in each release, so that I can use gitstat. There are likely to be large changes between checkins. Everything looks good until (using http://mirror.celinuxforum.org/gitstat/diff-index.php as a reference) I choose two points that would have a big delta- e.g. two releases of the linux kernel (e.g. v2.6.27 to v2.6.26)- then I get nothing. If I try to compare to rc's, it looks pretty good. Arg, think I just found a bug- if a directory has a single file change, you get the diff but not the filename itself. If a directory has multiple files with changes, you get the filenames, which you can then click on to see the diff. Are these bugs? Is this an abuse of gitstat? :-) If so, can anyone suggest an alternate tool? Thanks in advance, Julian |
