Hhhm, that's not exactly the problem.

	git diff --patch-with-stat 45c82b5 t/trivial/typo-kernel -- $path

expects $path to be relative to the top working tree.

IMHO this is a strange behaviour of core git when comparing two trees
(and not a tree and the wc).  Moreover as the output uses "absolute"
paths:

	ukleinek@cassiopeia:~/gsrc/linux-2.6/fs$ git diff --patch-with-stat 45c82b5 t/trivial/typo-kernel -- proc/nommu.c | diffstat -p0
 b/fs/proc/nommu.c |    2 +-
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)

Best regards
Uwe
