[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] scripts: add "git.orderfile" for ordering diff hunks by pathname patterns |

When passed to git-diff (and to every other git command producing diffs
and/or diffstats) with "-O" or "diff.orderFile", this list of patterns
will place the more declarative / abstract hunks first, while changes to
imperative code / details will be near the end of the patches. This saves
on scrolling / searching and makes for easier reviewing.
We intend to advise contributors in the Wiki to run
git config diff.orderFile scripts/git.orderfile
once, as part of their initial setup, before formatting their first (or,
for repeat contributors, next) patches.
See the "-O" option and the "diff.orderFile" configuration variable in
git-diff(1) and git-config(1).
