Subject: Git diff --no-index --no-prefix output loses leading slash in paths
Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2018 10:33:16 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <DFDB0568-9543-4135-A56D-821D4244DC8A@gmail.com> (raw)
As of 2.17.1, `git diff --no-index --no-prefix relative/path /absolute/path` produces the following:
diff --git relative/path absolute/path
index XXXXXXX..YYYYYYY ZZZZZZ
--- relative/path
+++ absolute/path
The leading slash on `absolute/path` is lost. This is unfortunate; my use case is a diff highlighter that parses and reformats paths so that code editors can autodetect them and link to the files.
Would the maintainers please consider fixing the output to preserve absolute paths?
Thank you,
George King
