codelite updated NETBEANS-420: ------------------------------ Issue Type: Bug (was: Improvement) > Intelligent source code diff comparison based on items in navigator needed > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NETBEANS-420 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-420 > Project: NetBeans > Issue Type: Bug > Components: utilities - Diff > Reporter: codelite > Priority: Major > > The graphical diff comparison in git can only deal with small changes in > source code files now, if there is a big change in source code, the diff tool > can hardly find the corresponding code parts for comparison, instead it > focuses on irrelevant single line characters like \{ and } as same lines. > I wish it could be improved by figuring out source code items(just as those > in the navigator) for two source code files/versions, and create a jump > button in the middle if the element(function or class) in the left file is > not in the nearby position of the right file, then the right file jumps to > position of the same function or class, resulting a meaningful comparison. > The difference graph lines should be drawn for each element no matter the > difference occurs in nearby positions naturally or after clicking the jump > button. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
