I know I would like this as I had a long-standing bug somewhere in the stable queues that was tripped up by using gnu diff instead of git-diff. I think the issue had to do with permission settings of files which git-diff handled and GNU diff didn't? Maybe, I can't quite recall it at the moment but can dig it up if needed. I remember trying to override the GNU diff usage in quilt, but couldn't figure out how to get it to work, so yes, I would like this feature if possible. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
