Hello Dan, or anyone else affected,
Accepted git into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git/1:2.17.1-1ubuntu0.2 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.
If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.
Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in
advance for helping!
N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
** Changed in: git (Ubuntu Bionic)
Status: New => Fix Committed
** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic

Title:
Restore /usr/share/doc/contrib/diff-highlight/diff-highlight
Status in git package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in git source package in Bionic:
Fix Committed
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
