Subject: git log -Sfoo ignores indentation (whitespace?) changes...
Date: Tue, 03 Mar 2009 15:28:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49AD3E78.1050706@sneakemail.com> (raw)

Commits where only the indentation of 'foo' is changed are not shown 
with "git log -Sfoo". Is there any way to force showing them along with 
other changes involving foo? (E.g. for python, indentation matters!)

Why doesn't the second commit show up in the following?

$ git init

# Create text containing 'line' without whitespace
$ echo 'line' > text
$ git add text
$ git commit -m "first" text

# Here, I add one space of indentation in front of 'line'
$ echo ' line' > text
$ git commit -m "second" text

# git log -Sline shows only the first commit, not the second,
# where the indentation changed.
$ git log -Sline

     first

# But clearly, the second commit *also* has changes
# containing 'line':
$ git log -p HEAD~..HEAD

     second

diff --git a/text b/text
index a999a0c..d650980 100644
--- a/text
+++ b/text
@@ -1 +1 @@
-line
+ line

I would like to see both "first" and "second" somehow - can I do that?
