Expose File Content Changes For Diffs

[Nezteb]

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like some way to query the contents of a diff in addition to the existing fields.

As far as implementation, it might make most sense to create a new diffs_content table or something since diffs could be huge (and might need to be stored as multiple patches/hunks).

Hello @Nezteb,

Currently, in GitQL 0.33.0 we can introduce custom types and lazy eval values so we can expand the current diffs table or create a new table diffs_content i am still working on the design, can you please share some use cases so we can handle more cases in the design.

Thank you,
Amr Hesham

I often filter commits like so:

git log -G "some_function_name" --source --all --decorate

To search for any commits that add/remove/modify some_function_name.

So being able to query for that with GitQL would be cool. 😄

Thanks for sharing this case, i will work on the design and notify you once something is ready :D

Thank you

@Nezteb In the next release, there will be a column for diff changes and you can perform functions to check added, deleted, and modified content, files ...etc, besides speeding up the performance of performing selecting queries from diff table x2 :D
