I just discovered the --word-diff option to "git diff" command. That option has proven to be essential for evaluation of my recent commits concerning markdown format files (which all have extraordinarily long lines which makes "git diff" output without the --word-diff option essentially impossible to interpret).
To show how useful this option is, compare results from git diff 7bedc70ad0^ 7bedc70ad0 and git diff --word-diff 7bedc70ad0^ 7bedc70ad0 The former result is essentially impossible to interpret because of the very long lines while the latter clearly shows the small tweaks I performed on those long lines for commit 7bedc70ad0. I am happy we are using git because I keep finding such cool functionality (as above). :-) Alan __________________________ Alan W.
