## Problem
`get_repo_root()` shells out to `git rev-parse` on every call, causing
4-6
redundant subprocesses per `gdiff_file()` invocation. Three other minor
issues: `highlight_vim_syntax()` leaks a scratch buffer if
`nvim_buf_call`
errors, `lib.ensure()` silently drops callbacks during download so hunks
highlighted mid-download permanently miss intra-line highlights, and the
debounce timer callback can operate on a deleted buffer.
## Solution
Cache `get_repo_root()` results by parent directory — repo roots don't
change within a session. Wrap `nvim_buf_call` and `nvim_buf_delete` in
pcall so the scratch buffer is always cleaned up. Replace the early
`callback(nil)` in `lib.ensure()` with a pending callback queue that
fires
once the download completes. Guard the debounce timer callback with
`nvim_buf_is_valid`.
Problem: when git hits a merge conflict, users stare at raw <<<<<<<
markers with broken treesitter and noisy LSP diagnostics. Existing
solutions (git-conflict.nvim) use their own highlighting rather than
integrating with diffs.nvim's color blending pipeline.
Solution: add conflict.lua module that detects <<<<<<</=======/>>>>>>>
markers (with diff3 ||||||| support), highlights ours/theirs/base
regions with blended DiffsConflict* highlight groups, provides
resolution keymaps (doo/dot/dob/don) and navigation (]x/[x),
suppresses diagnostics while markers are present, and auto-detaches
when all conflicts are resolved. Fires DiffsConflictResolved user
event on last resolution.
Problem: users had no config-level way to override computed highlight
groups and had to call nvim_set_hl externally.
Solution: add highlights.overrides table that maps group names to
highlight definitions. Overrides are applied after all computed groups
without default = true, so they always win over both computed defaults
and colorscheme definitions.
Problem: the character-level blend intensity was hardcoded to 0.6,
giving users no way to tune how strongly changed characters stand out
from the line-level background.
Solution: add highlights.blend_alpha config option (number, 0-1,
default 0.6) with type validation and range check.
Problem: DiffsDiff* highlight groups lacked default = true, making them
impossible for colorschemes to override, inconsistent with the fugitive
unified diff groups which already had it.
Solution: add default = true to all four DiffsDiffAdd, DiffsDiffDelete,
DiffsDiffChange, and DiffsDiffText nvim_set_hl calls.
Problem: DiffsAddNr/DiffsDeleteNr used raw diffAdded/diffRemoved
foreground and the word-level blended background, instead of matching
the line-level and character-level highlight groups.
Solution: set gutter bg to the line-level blend (DiffsAdd/DiffsDelete)
and fg to the character-level blend (DiffsAddText/DiffsDeleteText).
Problem: word-level diff highlights were too intense at 70% alpha, and
line number backgrounds used the line-level blend instead of matching
the word-level highlights.
Solution: reduce DiffsAddText/DiffsDeleteText blend alpha from 0.7 to
0.6 and use the same blended background for DiffsAddNr/DiffsDeleteNr.
Problem: highlights.context was a plain integer, inconsistent with the
table structure used by treesitter, vim, and intra sub-configs.
Solution: change to { enabled = true, lines = 25 } with full
vim.validate() coverage matching the existing pattern.
Problem: treesitter parses each diff hunk in isolation, so incomplete
syntax constructs at hunk boundaries (e.g., a function definition with
no body) produce ERROR nodes and drop captures.
Solution: read N lines from the on-disk file before/after each hunk and
prepend/append them as unmapped padding lines. The line_map guard in
highlight_treesitter skips extmarks for unmapped lines, so padding
provides syntax context without visual output. Controlled by
highlights.context (default 25, 0 to disable). Also applies to the vim
syntax fallback path via a leading_offset filter.
Problem: highlight_treesitter concatenated all hunk lines (context, -,
+) into a single string. Mixed old/new code produced invalid syntax
(e.g. two return statements), causing treesitter error recovery to drop
captures on lines after the syntax error.
Solution: split hunk lines into two versions — new (context + added)
and old (context + deleted) — each parsed independently. Use a line_map
to resolve treesitter row indices to buffer lines, with the old version
only mapping deleted lines to avoid duplicate extmarks on context.
Also fixes three related issues exposed by the improved TS coverage:
- Replace Normal extmark with DiffsClear (explicit fg from Normal.fg).
Normal in extmarks doesn't reliably override vim :syntax foreground.
- Reorder priority stack to DiffsClear(198) < syntax(199) < line
bg(200) < char bg(201). TS capture groups can carry colorscheme
backgrounds that would override diff line backgrounds at higher
priority.
- Gate DiffsClear on per-line coverage tracking. Only clear fugitive
syntax fg on lines where TS/vim actually produced captures, preventing
force-clearing on lines where error recovery drops captures.
'default' inherits algorithm and linematch from diffopt, 'vscode' uses
the FFI library. Removes the need for diffs.nvim to duplicate settings
that users already control globally.
line_hl_group bg occupies a separate rendering channel from hl_group in
Neovim's extmark system, causing character-level bg-only highlights to be
invisible regardless of priority. Switching to hl_group + hl_eol ensures
all backgrounds compete in the same channel.
Also reorders priorities (Normal 198 < line bg 199 < syntax 200 < char
bg 201), bumps char-level blend alpha from 0.4 to 0.7 for visibility,
and adds debug logging throughout the intra pipeline.
The previous 70% alpha blend of DiffAdd bg was nearly identical to the
40% line-level blend, making char-level highlights invisible. Now blends
the bright diffAdded/diffRemoved foreground color (same base as line
number fg) into the char-level bg, matching GitHub/VSCode intensity.
Also bumps intra.max_lines default from 200 to 500.
Line-level backgrounds (DiffsAdd/DiffsDelete) now get a second tier:
changed characters within modified lines receive an intense background
overlay (DiffsAddText/DiffsDeleteText at 70% alpha vs 40% for lines).
Treesitter foreground colors show through since the extmarks only set bg.
diff.lua extracts contiguous -/+ change groups from hunk lines and diffs
each group byte-by-byte using vim.diff(). An optional libvscodediff FFI
backend (lib.lua) auto-downloads the .so from codediff.nvim releases and
falls back to native if unavailable.
New config: highlights.intra.{enabled, algorithm, max_lines}. Gated by
max_lines (default 200) to avoid stalling on huge hunks. Priority 201
sits above treesitter (200) so the character bg always wins.
Closes#60
Adds du/dU keymaps to fugitive's :Git status buffer for opening unified
diffs instead of side-by-side diffs:
- du opens horizontal split (mirrors dd)
- dU opens vertical split (mirrors dv)
Parses status buffer lines to extract filename and detect section
(staged/unstaged/untracked). For staged files, diffs index vs HEAD.
For unstaged files, diffs working tree vs index.
Configurable via vim.g.diffs.fugitive.horizontal/vertical (set to
false to disable).
