[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package git - 1:2.19.1-1ubuntu1

---------------
git (1:2.19.1-1ubuntu1) cosmic; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
    - debian/control: build against pcre v3 only
    - debian/rules: s390x libpcre3 library has JIT disabled, set
      NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT on that arch to stop the build from failing.
    - Build diff-highlight in the contrib dir (closes: #868871, LP: #1713690)

git (1:2.19.1-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * new upstream point release (see RelNotes/2.19.1.txt,

Title:
  Restore /usr/share/doc/contrib/diff-highlight/diff-highlight

Status in git package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in git source package in Bionic:
  Fix Released
Status in git package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  [ SRU Verification ]
  This is just a papercut, but diff-highlight was shipped built in the past (including in xenial), so dropping it in bionic was a regression.

  [ Regression Potential ]
  None, this is just shipping a built perl script in doc.

  [ Test Case ]
  Check that the file is now shipped and works when specified in the [pager] section as shown in the bug report.

  [ Original Report ]
  This was removed in my most recent upgrade on artful, 1:2.11.0-4 -> 1:2.14.1-1ubuntu3.

  This is particularly frustrating as it caused a bunch of git
  operations to start erroring for me, as I have the following in my
  .gitconfig:

  [pager]
   diff = perl /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/diff-highlight/diff-highlight | less
   log = perl /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/diff-highlight/diff-highlight | less
   show = perl /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/diff-highlight/diff-highlight | less
