Hi @harrisoncramer, I will be very grateful if you could have a look at this PR (and those other I've opened recently). They mostly fix some smaller bugs or add some small features that I find useful (like the date format toggling).
In DiffView,
oldpath
is set tonil
in unrenamed files, and this causes thegit diff
command (lua/gitlab/hunks.lua lines 101-108) to return a diff for all files instead of a single file. This in turn can cause incorrect modification type identification (e.g., lua/gitlab/hunks.lua line 204) because the algorithm can incorrectly identify a line to be in_new_range even if it's in fact looking at a diff of a completely different file.This primarily fixes some incorrectly identified comments on unchanged text, but maybe it will also prevent some of the pesky "invalid line code" errors that still occur from time to time.
