Oh, wait, it does that :already. :-- :Crist J. Clark | cjclark@alum.mit.edu Yah... it's not enough. The screen is too busy. Diff wants to get your attention with its ----- and +++++'s, there are '*******' lines, and if you have tiny files it's even more of a mess because you wind up with several on the screen at once. I've been playing with my patch set. I don't know about anyone else but I find it a whole lot easier to use mergemaster with them. The filename is always in one place (and we could make that work even better) for one thing and you don't get the "sometimes it leaves you in the pager, sometimes it doesn't" confusion. I cleaned up the stty stuff a bit since my last posting, putting a 'if test -t 0 ...' check in to detect, when no tty exists, but that's pretty much it. I also like the idea someone posted in regards to having a list of files 'typically never modified by the sysop', e.g. /etc/defaults/*, /etc/rc*, and so forth, though with the patches I have so far that particular problem is not so big a deal any more (at least not for me). The checking against the cvs rev idea is a great idea too, but I'm not planning on implementing it in my patch set. Others are welcome to of course! -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
