Let's just say it frustrates the hell out of me. :)
So did drupal at first for me at least but we've grown accustomed to
each other over the last 5 years. :)
git diff origin<--- does the wrong thing, in my case
git diff HEAD<--- appears to work
git diff origin/6.x-3.x<-- appears to work, in my case
Your "origin" is a reference to a remote repository. That repository has
a "default branch". It seems, at least in this case, that this default
branch is NOT 6.x-3.x. This explains why the former failed and the
latter worked for you. It probably looked like a ton of changes because
it was set to the 7 branch or something :). The HEAD comparison is
entirely local and what you really wanted to use anyway you cut it.
Thanks for explaining that.
Anytime bud. You've saved me days with fb and associated work. Happy to
help. if you ever run into specific issues hit me up in IRC.
