List transitive Go dependencies changed from an earlier Git commit

tdiff (Transitive Diff)

This is an experimental, incomplete prototype.

tdiff finds the transitive dependencies of a Go package and outputs relevant changes since an earlier Git commit.

Uses

tdiff must be called from a directory underneath $GOPATH.

"Related" means recursively reachable from the package given to tdiff.

List related packages changed since the given SHA

tdiff -package your/app/list_utils -sha OLDER_GIT_SHA -packages

List related files changed since the given SHA

tdiff -package your/app/list_utils -sha OLDER_GIT_SHA -files

List Git commits since the given SHA that contain changes to related files

tdiff -package your/app/list_utils -sha OLDER_GIT_SHA -commits

Notes

If a package is changed after the given SHA and before being added as a dependency, and does not change after this, irrelevant changes will be included.
