🐛 use `diff -u` for files larger than 1 GB #1927

Run:

delta a-file-larger-than-1GB.txt another-file-larger-than-1GB.txt

Get the error:

fatal: unable to generate diff for a-file-larger-than-1GB.txt
'git' process failed with exit status 128. Command was: git diff --no-index --color -- a-file-larger-than-1GB.txt another-file-larger-than-1GB.txt

I think this is due to https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/xdiff-interface.h#L12 so delta should use diff -u automatically for files larger than 1 GB minus 1 MB.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

gy-mate changed the title ~~Use diff -u for files larger than 1 GB~~ 🐛 use diff -u for files larger than 1 GB
