Description: interactive full screen 2/3-way merge tool
The imediff command helps you to merge 2 slightly different files with
an optional base file interactively using the in-place alternating
display of the changed content on a single-pane full screen terminal
user interface.
.
The source of line is clearly identified by the color of the line or the
identifier character at the first column.
.
The advantage of this user interface is the minimal movement of the line
of sight for the user.
.
The line matching logic of imediff has been improved to ignore whitespaces
and use partial line matches to provide the best presentation with small
chunk of lines.
.
The automatic 3 way merge logic of the imediff command operates not only on
the difference by line but on the difference by character. This is another
great feature of the imediff command. So for the non-overlapping changes,
it always yields the clean merge.
.
The "git ime" command helps you to unsquash 2 consecutive commits (`HEAD^`,
`HEAD`) of a git repository. The "git rebase -i " and "gitk" can
be used to organize unsquashed changes.
.
If any staged changes or local uncommitted changes are found in the git
repository, "git ime" immediately exits without changes to be on the
safe side.
.
If the latest commit involves multiple files, "git ime" splits this big
commit by the file into multiple smaller commits involving a single file
for each commit.
.
If the latest commit involves only a single file, the commit is split
into multiple smaller commits involving a set of minimal partial
changes by imediff to be managed interactively later.
.
This "git ime" is not only useful at the checked out branch head but
also at "edit" prompt during the interactive execution of "git rebase -i
". Execute "git ime" after committing the pending commit.
