Subject: Why does diff --binary include content of files being deleted?
Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2008 23:34:54 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080622033454.GA10578@lifeintegrity.com> (raw)
Between tag1 and tag2 I am deleting a number of binary files, and I was
surprised seeing the binaries being added to the diff when said files
are to be deleted:
git diff --binary tag1 tag2 > /tmp/diff && ls -l /tmp/diff
-rw-r--r-- 1 allan users 555135993 2008-06-21 22:37 /tmp/diff
git diff tag1 tag2 > /tmp/diff2 && ls -l /tmp/diff2
-rw-r--r-- 1 allan users 12862 2008-06-21 23:33 /tmp/diff2
