Hello,
I'm a new user of git, and I meet a very strange behaviour with the git diff command.
I have modified stuff in a file, with changes both in the index and the working tree.
"git diff" shows nothing, while "git diff | cat" shows the diff, as well as "git diff>output.txt" puts diff in output.txt.
Quite Weird
I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.4, using git 1.7.2.1, installed via macports.
Best,

"git diff" paginates its output by default. Perhaps your $LESS
contains -F but not -X?
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
