For some time now, the SQLite and Fossil websites have been running on the
"retro-sbsdiff" branch of Fossil. The retro-sbsdiff branch uses a vastly
simplified format for the side-by-side diffs that omits all of the colors and
decoration and provides plain-text output - essentially the same output as you
would get on the command-line using the -y flag. Example:
http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/21695c3476
I find the "retro" side-by-side diff to be much more readable, which is why I
am using it on the SQLite and Fossil websites, as well as on my desktop. And
I've heard no complaints from users about the retro sbsdiffs on the website.
But before I merge the retro-sbsdiff branch into trunk (and hence purge the
existing colorful sbs diff from the trunk) I thought I would as for community
feedback. Are there strong preferences one way or another?
(At this point I haven't looked at all the other responses which seem to have
gotten in in the half hour I was walking to the office)
Looking at the new retro-look and the color look side-by-side (*, sic) I
strongly prefer the colorized sbs. If I could have only one that would be the
one I would go for. If both looks get their own strong following then it might
be advisable to have an admin setting in the repository to choose which of the
looks to show.
