Subject: bisect: report the found commit with "show"
X-Git-Tag: v2.45.0-rc1~2^2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8198993c817b6c3b42f91c7345469c113c6eeabc;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

bisect: report the found commit with "show"

When "git bisect" finds the first bad commit and shows it to the user,
it calls "git diff-tree" to do so, whose output is meant to be stable
and deliberately ignores end-user customizations.

As the output is supposed to be consumed by humans, replace this with
a call to "git show". This command honors configuration options (such
as "log.date" and "log.mailmap") and other UI improvements (renames
are detected).

Pass some hard-coded options to "git show" to make the output similar
to the one we are replacing, such as showing a patch summary only.
