In these cases, the entire tree will consist of just the files that have
changed. I think that's reasonable (I would go as far as call that a
feature, not a bug). If you insist that seeing unchanged files in that
tree view is important, I'd suggest an extra option,
--include-unchanged-files or such to diff (I still don't see the
use-case, though).

Yours,
   Petr.

PS: All history browsers I can think of only show you files that have
actually changed. Interestingly enough, git difftool doesn't even
support tree diffs, it will run the tool once for each pair of files. I
agree *that* is inconvenient.
