           Summary: kompare won't parse diffs from git
           Product: kompare
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kompare-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: andyparkins gmail com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Kompare just shows blank for diffs redirected from git.

I've tracked down the cause and it seems to be on the file declaration lines.  Here is a sample diff that kompare will not show.

diff --git a/file b/file
index a8b2ec6..a1e65fd 100644
--- a/file
+++ b/file
 @ -1,2 +1,3  @
 initial contents goes in master branch
 additional content added in repo1#master
+blah

As you can see, it's a simple addition of the line "blah".  Kompare shows this diff as blank.  Now if I modify the file so that the "---" and "+++" lines both have "<tab>(something)" added:

diff --git a/file b/file
index a8b2ec6..a1e65fd 100644
--- a/file      (anything can go here)
+++ b/file      (anything can go here)
 @ -1,2 +1,3  @
 initial contents goes in master branch
 additional content added in repo1#master
+blah

Kompare will correctly show this diff.
