I agree about the git diff being easier; however, those files are in unified format and some committers prefer to read the context format, so I'd recommend piping it through filterdiff --format=context. Personally, although I submit patches in context format, I keep the unified copy around because I find the method names from git useful and I like to be able to view the patch through kompare, which doesn't seem to like the context format as well. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
