The result of diff is different from the result of git diff about cloc HOT 6 CLOSED

Point me to the repo with these commits. Or, if that's not practical, find a common repo we can both access which demonstrates the problem you have in mind.

Okay, I'll get a common repo when I have time, thanks for your answer

from cloc.

Well ! I know it. Because I change file-name in one commit, git diff can discern this change.
however, cloc --git-diff-rel will generated two records of increase and decrease!
How can I identify this situation?

from cloc.

git returns a "similarity index" on with diff --find-renames which can identify this situation. I even have a place-holder option in cloc, currently commented out, called --git-diff-simindex to support this capability but I have not implemented it yet. It is tricky.

from cloc.

all right, is this feature possible?

from cloc.

It is possible, but as to when, I can't say. The cleanest thing to do will be close this issue then create a new one specifically requesting this feature, ie, "implement --git-diff-simindex". You're welcome to do that and it will keep my mind on it.
