- xdiff -W: relax end-of-file function detection
"git diff -W" has been taught to handle the case where a new
function is added at the end of the file better.
Will hold.
Discussion on an follow-up change to go back from the line that
matches the funcline to show comments before the function
definition has not resulted in an actionable conclusion.
This one is a bug fix and can be merged already IMHO.
I have raw patches for showing comments before functions with -W, but
they don't handle the case of a change being within such a comment.
We'd want to show the trailing function which it is referring to in such
a case, right?
And that's a bit tricky because it requires a more complicated model:
Currently we distinguish only between function lines and the rest, while
the new way would require identifying leading comment lines and probably
also trailing function body lines in addition to that, and neither can
be classified simply by looking at the line in question -- their type
depends on that of neighboring lines.
