Subject: difftool -d symlinks, under what conditions
Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2012 15:23:16 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJELnLGq_oLBiNHANoaE7iEiA6g4fXX0PtJbqPFi4PQ+5LLvnA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I'm finding the behavior of `git difftool -d` surprising. It seems that it
only uses symlinks to the working copy for files that are modified in the
working copy since the most recent commit. I would have expected it to use
symlinks for all files whose version under comparison is the working copy
version, regardless of whether the working copy differs from the HEAD.
I'm using
$ git --version
git version 1.8.0
on a Mac from Homebrew.
