Subject: Inconsistency in specifying commit & path for git diff
Date: Tue, 09 Oct 2012 15:43:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50747E48.3060203@gmail.com> (raw)
git diff <commit>..<commit>
and
git diff <commit> <commit>
both succeed
however
git diff <commit>:<path>..<commit>:<path>
fails while
git diff <commit>:<path> <commit>:<path>
succeeds
OS X 10.7.5
git version 1.7.9.1
Reproduced by another user:

It seems logical to support the '..' syntax in both for consistency.
