Introduce word-diff parser
What does this MR do?
Contributes to #16950 (closed)
We want to introduce a support for git diff --word-diff=porcelain
format. This format has differences from the default git diff
.
Each line in the output can start with:
-
-
+
- shows that data in this chunk is added -
-
- shows that data in this chunk is removed -
~
- a newline character
The parser converts word-diff format to the collection of
Gitlab::Diff::Line
object that we use for diff representation.
To make changes relatively small I've splitted the work into multiple MRs.
This MR is just a first step to deliver word-diff
format support.
New classes defined here are not used anywhere yet.
