[Request] Support for older version of GIT #270

Closed vignesh0025 closed 1 year ago

vignesh0025 commented 1 year ago

Is there any possibility to support older version of Git ? Atleast versions released from last 5 years or something ?

In work environment, tool versions are fixed at the start of the project and there's no simple way to upgrade Git's version.

I'm afraid not. I'm pretty much the sole maintainer of this project, and I don't believe I have the capacity to support multiple git versions. Git 2.31 includes some features that are crucial to how I query the git history.

However, I want to point out that you don't need to install the required Git version system-wide. You can install it wherever you want is your user-space and configure diffview to use that binary with :h diffview-config-git_cmd.

Thank you for the awesome plugin. diffview-config-git_cmd solved the issue.
