So, I have a Git project, and we (basically a typical Rails project) have a pretty deep directory structure.
When I do a git merge, I see results like:
app/views/shared/exception_report.erb | 6 +
app/views/ui/sample.html.erb | 11 +-
app/views/verifications/new.html.erb | 10 +-
config/deploy.rb | 2 +-
.../20100825132200_thing_pane.rb | 27 ++---
.../20100826210000_another_thing_pane.rb | 21 +++
lib/semantic_form_builder_plus.rb | 5 +
The problem is that I want to see what the directory is .../20100825132200_thing_pane.rb. Is there a Git parameter that controls the number of columns that these rows take?
tl; dr : Git names of the added / changed list merge lists, but will drop the file path too quickly for my purposes. Can I control the number of Git columns when it prints this list of file names?
Change for future / future Googlers sake . I accepted this answer and created a Slake Rake task to make it very simple: incoming_migration_check.rake .
