git plugin doesn't show the same diff as git
The lines marked in gedit when using the git plugin doesn't match the output given from git diff
, which can be very confusing.
After checking the code I can see that difflib
is used rather than letting git figure things out. So differences are expected I guess as they may not implement the same algorithm.
This also means that the plugin doesn't respect git's setting, e.g. using the far superior "patience" algorithm.
