* [BUG] "git diff FILE BRANCH:FILE" erroneously report FILE does not exist in BRANCH @ 2012-01-21 19:36 Stefano Lattarini 2012-01-21 21:33 ` Carlos Martín Nieto 2012-01-21 22:08 ` Junio C Hamano 0 siblings, 2 replies; 3+ messages in thread From: Stefano Lattarini @ 2012-01-21 19:36 UTC (permalink / raw) To: git Here is a complete reproducer for the bug: mkdir foo \ && cd foo \ && git init . \ && >README \ && git add README \ && git commit -m "for all" \ && git checkout -b devel \ && echo dev > README \ && git add README \ && git commit -m "for developers" \ && git diff devel:README master:README \ && git diff README master:README I'd expect the last "git diff" to report the same diffs as the previous one; instead, it errors out with this bogus message: fatal: Path 'README' exists on disk, but not in 'master'. Behaviour verified with git version 1.7.7.3 (installed from official Debian packages) and the latest git development version (1.7.9.rc0.69.gbddcef, from master).
