Re: [mylyn-dev] Creating git diffs for large data sets

Thanks David,

I eventually figured out a way. E.g. "git diff --binary refs/remotes/eclipse/master org.eclipse.mylyn.docs.epub.help > ../../Eclipse/Patches/bug_332122-help.patch". However the help plug-in by itself exceeds the limit as it contains a few images. Thank you for the pointer to the guideline. This looks like the best way to do it. I could always create a new repository using the current Mylyn base and apply the patch to it myself. Then you should get only one commit. Or maybe there is some other magic that can be applied. I don't really care about the commit history so if I loose it it's no big deal.

Best regards,
Torkild

It seems that there are some guidelines as to how to go about this:  http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Handling_Git_Contributions  I'm not sure how it would work if the contribution consists of multiple commits.
