Subject: git diff bug?
Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2013 17:26:41 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CANd8icJ_1mqT9m-n3wPPdjzG1oNjwxfQeUA6YL6KVxbq0iEa1g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello All,

If I did 'git diff HEAD^..HEAD -- file' should git not report some
kind of warning if it could not match the file? For example, if 'file'
were infact 'dir/file' and 'file' were unique, would it not be a good
idea to report that in the present working directory 'file' were not
found but 'dir/file' were a match?

Apologies if I missed this in the man page.

Thanks
