April 1-14, 2024 in Darker: Git compatibility fixes and configuration improvements

[akaihola]

This period saw improvements in Darker's Git compatibility and configuration handling. We addressed an issue with relative paths in Git subdirectories when using hash symmetric differences (Issue #522), which was successfully reproduced and understood. To fix test failures when running outside the source tree, we now run import sorting tests in a temporary Git repository (PR #583, closing issue #510).

On the configuration front, we started deprecating skip_* Black options in the [tool.darker] section (PR #578), paving the way for more streamlined configuration handling. We also began discussions on allowing users to specify the Black version in the GitHub action (Issue #582) and considered adding support for a Docker container to simplify CI/CD integration (Issue #580). The community continued to explore the possibility of supporting different code formatters and allowing users to skip formatting altogether (Issue #304), with ongoing discussions about the best approach for implementation.
