FYI I did try on a lark: fossil changes %1 | grep EDITED | cut -c12- - | xargs fossil gdiff
Which almost did it. Except for the fact that 'fossil changes' does not support specifying a directory (or whether to recurse, or not), so this was ultimately was the same as a 'fossil gdiff', haha, just more circumlocutory. But... Maybe someone smarter than me can think of a filter before the 'xargs' that further reduces the file list to just the ones in the intended directory, and then you'd have it, I think. -dave > -----Original Message----- > From: dave [mailto:d...@ziggurat29.com] > Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2014 8:37 AM > To: 'Fossil SCM user's discussion' > Subject: RE: [fossil-users] gdiff/opendiff on os x: suppress > unchanged files? > > > Yep, now I understand and agree with you all.
