Subject: What's the difference between `git show branch:file | diff -u - file` vs `git diff branch file`?
Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2011 07:25:17 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20110823T091132-107@post.gmane.org> (raw)
$ time git show branch:file | diff -u - file > /dev/null
real 0m0.003s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
$ time git diff branch -- file > /dev/null
real 0m31.442s
user 0m31.040s
sys 0m0.380s
What does git diff do so it takes that much time? And is there any flag to git
diff so that it will work as fast as show + diff? I thought these two are
equivalent but from run time it is obvious that they aren't.
