Subject: Strange behaviour of git diff branch1 ... branch2
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2012 17:26:50 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121026212650.GB2612@pug.qqx.org> (raw)
I came across this odd question on stackoverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/q/13092854/1507392
If git diff is run with "..." as a separate argument between two
commit-ish arguments causes it to produce strange output. The
differences seem to be the same as if "..." was left out, but change
lines begin with 4 + or - characters rather than just 1.
Can anybody explain what is happening here? I don't have any reason to
want to use that form myself, but I'm very curious about why it produces
this odd output.
Thanks.
