From: René Scharfe Date: Sun, 9 Nov 2025 16:43:36 +0000 (+0100) Subject: diff: disable rename detection with --quiet X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fa052367ef8f7829996ff15368d63edfff0e40c3;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git diff: disable rename detection with --quiet Detecting renames and copies improves diff's output. This effort is wasted if we don't show any. Disable detection in that case. This actually fixes the error code when using the options --cached, --find-copies-harder, --no-ext-diff and --quiet together: run_diff_index() indirectly calls diff-lib.c::show_modified(), which queues even non-modified entries using diff_change() because we need them for copy detection. diff_change() sets flags.has_changes, though, which causes diff_can_quit_early() to declare we're done after seeing only the very first entry -- way too soon. Using --cached, --find-copies-harder and --quiet together without --no-ext-diff was not affected even before, as it causes the flag flags.diff_from_contents to be set, which disables the optimization in a different way.
