Subject: git-diff between /dev/null and blob
Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 03:07:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <eajl4r$b7o$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)
Currently, due to artifact of git-diff argument parsing you can get diff
of two arbitrary blobs given by their sha1 id, e.g.
git diff ab8050ceb4e43522e858768cc2c02fcb91839370 fd05278808d458602587bb024a48726018d30926
but you cannot use git-diff to create diff between two files, or a file
and blob.
In particular, I couldn't make "creation" patch, i.e. patch between
/dev/null and specified blob. If it would be possible, we could lose
gitweb.cgi dependency on diff.
