@boomanaiden154 (or anyone else). If you would like to add a note about this fix in the release notes (completely optional). Please reply to this comment with a one or two sentence description of the fix. When you are done, please add the release:note label to this PR. |
From local testing, git diff-tree does not support three dot diffs correctly, instead expecting the --merge-base flag to be passed along with two commits. From my reading, the documentation (https://git-scm.com/docs/git-diff-tree) also confirms this. This patch updates the git-clang-format script to be correct. I don't think we ever ran into this issue before because we never ended up using it. For the PR code format job I believe we would just explicitly pass the merge base, completely bypassing the problem. (cherry picked from commit f09986a)
