0.103: getting diff-hl in the margin also in a GUI setup

[emmanueltouzery]

since 0.103 version-control uses diff-hl not anymore git-gutter.
in my .spacemacs I put:

  (setq diff-hl-side 'left)

same as I had left-fringe for git-gutter. But I doubt it has anything to do with my problem. The problem is that when just starting emacs diff-hl displays in the fringe as expected. However if I start it with emacsclient -c "$@" --alternate-editor= & then I get diff-hl consistently in the margin instead of the fringe.

if I comment these lines in the version-control layer then it's again all ok:

(unless (display-graphic-p)
   (setq diff-hl-side 'left)
   (diff-hl-margin-mode))

it looks like emacsclient somehow triggers display-graphic-p to be false. I attempted changing the condition to window-system instead of display-graphic-p but the problem remains.

now added (diff-hl-margin-mode 0) in my .spacemacs as a workaround.

You can start emacs in daemon mode, then later tell it to create a graphical frame. [..]
As a result of this, avoid putting code in your .emacs that depends on window-system. Instead, put code like your set-frame-size example in a hook function which runs after a frame is created
