Git supports a builtin Rust diff driver [1] since v2.23.0 (2019).
It improves the choice of hunk headers in some cases, such as
diffs within methods, since those are indented in Rust within
an `impl` block, and therefore the default diff driver would
pick the outer `impl` block instead (rather than the method
where the changed code is).
For instance, with the default diff driver:
@@ -455,6 +455,8 @@ impl fmt::Write for RawFormatter {
// Amount that we can copy. `saturating_sub` ensures we get 0 if `pos` goes past `end`.
let len_to_copy = core::cmp::min(pos_new, self.end).saturating_sub(self.pos);
+ test_diff_driver();
+
if len_to_copy > 0 {
// SAFETY: If `len_to_copy` is non-zero, then we know `pos` has not gone past `end`
// yet, so it is valid for write per the type invariants.
With the Rust diff driver:
@@ -455,6 +455,8 @@ fn write_str(&mut self, s: &str) -> fmt::Result {

Thus set the `rust` diff driver for `*.rs` source files.
The Rust repository also does so since 2020 [2].

Now we have the third extension for DT source files (overlay).
Give the diff=dts attribute to *.dtso as well.
While I was here, I merged *.c and *.o into *.[ch] and added the
SPDX-License-Identifier.

Git is gaining support to display the closest node to the diff in the
hunk header via the 'dts' diff driver. Use that driver for all dts and
dtsi files so we can gain some more context on where the diff is.
Taking a recent commit in the kernel dts files you can see the
difference.
With this patch and an updated git

You can see that we don't know what the context node is because it isn't
shown after the '@@'.
dts is not released yet but it is staged to be in the next release[1].
One can probably build git from source and try it out.

Git can be told to apply language-specific rules when generating diffs.
Enable this for C source code files (*.c and *.h) so that function names
are printed right. Specifically, doing so prevents "git diff" from
mistakenly considering unindented goto labels as function names.
