[SM-Users] Thunderbird plugin for viewing diffs

[Eric Sandall]

For all you Thunderbird users,

If you view diffs (such as those in SM-Commit[0]) you may like the
colored diffs plugin by Vadim Atlygin[1], which allows colored unified
diffs or, my favourite, side-by-side view (not quite as nice as meld,
but it's still handy). This makes reviewing our commits much easer (at
least for me ;)).

And for people using mutt, here's a draft of some diff/commit mail
colorizing. It has some issues, namely that it isn't context-aware so will
tend to color all lines that start with + or -, but I figured I'd dump it
here vs. sitting on it until it's perfect. If you put all your commit
mails in a separate mailbox you probably won't mind anyway.

Some of these colors probably only look decent on with the hacked color
definitions I use locally, but they're easy to change to whatever you want.

color body cyan default "^[> ]*diff .+"
color body magenta default "^[> ]*@@ .+"
color body magenta default "^[> ]*Binary files .+ differ"
color body green default "^[> ]*\\+.*"
color body red default "^[> ]*-.*"

color body white default "^[> ]*GIT changes to .* by"
color body blue default "[0-9]+ files? changed"
color body green default "[0-9]+ insertions?\\(\\+\\)"
color body red default "[0-9]+ deletions?\\(-\\)"
color body white default "^[> ]*New commits:"
color body blue default "(cherry picked from )?commit [0-9a-f]{40}"
color body cyan default "^[> ]*Author: [^<]+[^ <]"
color body cyan brightdefault "^[> ]*Commit: [^<]+[^ <]"
color body red brightdefault "^[> ]*deleted file mode [0-9]{6}"
color body green brightdefault "^[> ]*new file mode [0-9]{6}"
color body brightblack default "^[> ]*index [0-9a-f]{7}\\.\\.[0-9a-f]{7}([0-9]{6})?"

I'm sorry, I can't hold myself. Little shameless advertisement :)

And for people viewing diff with vim, there's excellent plugin

Oh, and btw, thanks all for working on mutt
