Bug#1069329: fixed in diffoscope 266

[Chris Lamb]

Hi Paul,

> Hmm, I still get a hex diff with the test case I posted in the bug:

Ah, I foolishly didn't check back with the original test case. The
root cause here, if I can call it that, is that we were calling "xz
--list --verbose" and not specifying a second "--verbose".

This has now been remedied in Git, which will most likely be released
on Friday 17th May. I've used your original test case as a literal
test fixture, and can confirm it now shows a difference.

Given the extra verbose information, I did alas make a related
change so that it will not show the "--verbose --verbose" output if
there are differences between the files contained within the .xz.
Otherwise every single .deb package would show a very lengthy and
distracting output.


Regards,
