It's supposed to be adding "> " to the beginning of lines in the working tree and stripping them in the repo, but I've just realised that the instructions above are wrong since "1.quote" is supposed to have leading "> "'s (although the test I ran before tidying it up for the email was correct). > The diff results give me: > > diff --git a/1.quote b/1.quote > index 4cb29ea..f384549 100644 > --- a/1.quote > +++ b/1.quote > @@ -1,3 +1,4 @@ > one > two > three > +four It seems that `git diff` shows the difference between the clean versions of the files, which is also shown by the GIT_TRACE output when running it. > While the diff tool tells me that the repository file is: > > one > > two > > three This indicates that the smudge filter is being applied, so the infrastructure is working on your machine. I think this is a difference between git-diff's internal and external diff modes which is working correctly, although possibly not desirably in this case. The internal diff always uses clean files (so it runs the working tree file through the "clean" filter before applying the diff algorithm) but the external diff uses the working tree file so it applies the "smudge" filter to any blobs that it needs to checkout. Commit 4e218f5 (Smudge the files fed to external diff and textconv, 2009-03-21) was the source of this behaviour. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
