[PATCH] Set git diff driver for C source code files

From: Jean Delvare
Date: Wed Sep 07 2016 - 08:34:21 EST


Git can be told to apply language-specific rules when generating
diffs. Enable this for C source code files (*.c and *.h) so that
function names are printed right. Specifically, doing so prevents
"git diff" from mistakenly considering unindented goto labels as
function names.
