Feature request - split diffs functionality #8

Closed vuduchild closed 3 weeks ago

This was recently introduced to the OSS version of Sapling ISL. Perhaps it could be ported in as well?

This is on my TODO list, along with interactive rebase! 🙂

Currently, there isn’t a straightforward way to split commits by file with a single git command. Right now, each IGL button is designed to run one command (or occasionally two, in a way that ensures the repo state remains stable even if interrupted).

Implementing split diffs functionality would likely involve a sequence of commands, such as:

git reset HEAD~1
git add file1
git commit -m "Commit message for file1"
git add file2
git commit -m "Commit message for file2"

This kind of operation could potentially leave the repo in an inconsistent state if interrupted mid-sequence, which could be confusing or disruptive for users. Given these challenges, I’m not planning to implement this right now, but I'm open to exploring alternative approaches if there's a way to do it safely and smoothly. Let me know if you have any additional thoughts or suggestions!
