Hi everyone!
I'm attempting to make it possible to compare and merge MySQL WorkBench files in SourceTree, and in order to do so I created a small shell script that extracts the content of the .mwb file and strips some useless counters from the XML.
Then I added this line to .gitconfig in the project's root:
[diff "mwbdiff"] textconv = mwb-diff
and this in the .gitattributes:
*.mwb diff=mwbdiff
Now, if I change something on a .mwb, then git diff on console shows the correct differences, and SourceTree does it, too:

The problem is that if I try to do the same on already committed versions, I get nothing. Same if I try to merge:

I still get the right output if I try to run GIT from the console like this:
git diff develop feature/four -- test.mwb
I also tried to move the .gitattributes and .gitconfig changes into the global variables, and it actually works in the console, but it didn't help SourceTree.
What am I missing? How can I solve this problem?
Hi Simon,
I gave up on this, it's actually a limitation of SourceTree that cannot be bypassed.
What I'm doing now is just to version the .mwb file without comparison.
Best regards,
Alessandro
Hi!,
I'm running into the same exact problem with SourceTree 2.2.4 on Mac. @Alessandro Cappello, where you able to find a solution?
Thanks!
