Subject: diff-files inconsistency with touched files
Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2009 18:27:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A9EAAF3.3000002@cam.ac.uk> (raw)
Hi,
I am puzzled by the following behaviour:
$ git --version
git version 1.6.4.2
$ git diff-files
$ touch test
$ git diff-files
:100644 100644 9daeafb9864cf43055ae93beb0afd6c7d144bfa4
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 M test
$ git diff
$ git diff-files
$
I don't understand why git diff-files reports a file is changed when
that file is touched nor why running git diff changes this to (what I
think is) the correct behaviour.
Thanks in advance,
--James
