add diffconfig utility
PATCH 1/1 add diffconfig utility
diffconfig is a simple utility for comparing two .config files. Using standard diff to compare .config files often includes extraneous and distracting information. This utility produces sorted output with only the changes in configuration values between the two files.
I have found this handy for use in testing to detect when option dependencies unexpectedly affect other options.
To use, apply the patch and 'chmod a+x scripts/diffconfig'

I will merge it if the feedabck is positive and eventual feedback is dealt with. (And Tim reminds me to do so in a week or so).
I take most of the random scripts in scripts/ via kbuild.git.

OK - sounds like you're the right person to ask a question that has been nagging me.
Is there a proper way to get the execute bit set in the git tree on patches that contain scripts? I think patches produced by git have something that sets the file permissions? Is this something that can (or should) be hand-added to a non-git patch? (I use quilt).
I put that blurb in the patch description about doing a 'chmod a+x', but that doesn't seem reliable.

Good idea. Might as well make it visible.

It'd be really nice if it could give its output in the same form as the .config file itself -- so it'd look something like:
#
CONFIG_FOOis not setCONFIG_BAR=y
OK, a new version is below. Right now, when printing in "merge" style, the code omits items that are absent in the new config. These should get set correctly (removed) if you do a 'make oldconfig'. It would be trivial to have them output as well, if you think that would be better.
I am experimentally trying to attach a git-style file mode to this patch. I did this by hand, so it might not work. (The index line is totally made up). Let me know if there are problems.

Both good ideas. These are implemented in the latest version. Note that I check for and use KBUILD_OUTPUT. (I always put my build output outside the source directory, since I usually build for multiple arches from a single tree.)
The program is also now better structured, IMHO.

As for the ChangeLog, here's some information about history and recent changes. I can put this in the patch/script if desired.
CHANGELOG:
2008-06-24 - Tim Bird <[email protected]> - add usage function,
add -m feature for merge-style output, use .config and .config.old by default, improve command line handling
~2007 - Tim Bird - re-format code for internal use at Sony ~2006 - Matt Mackall - create original diffconfig tool as part of
bloatwatch project

Would an option for that style of output be OK?
The tool currently produces something similar to a diff (but with changed lines compressed to a single line for conciseness). It should be easy to produce something that can be used with another tool to transform one config into another.
It's unclear what to do with variables that are supposed to be removed from the config (as opposed to be set to "CONFIG_FOO is not set" Does merge.pl handle this, or is this left to something like 'make oldconfig'?
