Homebrew-core: git 2.13.3 and up: missing diff-highlight

Created on 13 Jul 2017  路  4Comments  路  Source: Homebrew/homebrew-core

After updating git diff-highlight is no longer available.

git 2.13.2:

$ ls /usr/local/opt/git/share/git-core/contrib/diff-highlight/
t  Makefile  README  diff-highlight

git 2.13.3 and git HEAD:

$ ls /usr/local/opt/git/share/git-core/contrib/diff-highlight/
t  DiffHighlight.pm  Makefile  README  diff-highlight.perl

I saw this because I depend on it, and searching on google for "diff-highlight homebrew" it seems lot of people would be expecting it to be there already compiled.

 make -C $(brew --prefix git)/share/git-core/contrib/diff-highlight

Maybe this should be added to the formula, right? You can't expect people to run this every single time git is updated.

@ghostbar it's only in contrib so I'm not sure it makes sense to add that step to the formula permanently.
