hiding not meaningful changes is not enough. when a block in python changes the indentation, i want to see that the block is otherwise unchanged. so indentation changes simply need to be marked differently. if a tool can to that then it will also work with code where indentation is optional, allowing me to cleanly indent code without messing up the diff.
i saw a diff tool that marked only the characters that changed. that would work here.
- Izkata 9mo agoBoth svn and git have command line options for diff to hide whitespace changes. It's always disappointed me that various web UIs don't have a toggle for it.
- em-bee 9mo agohiding whitespace changes is not the same as indicating them as whitespace change. in particular hiding messes up the proper display of indentation, so it's not always useful.
