Of course right after I sent this, it occurred to me that 'git branch diff' would make mask the ability to create a branch named diff. Using 'git branch --diff ...' wouldn't suffer that problem. It does add a bit more overhead to the 'git branch' command, in terms of documentation and usage. I'm not sure it's too much though. The git-branch summary wouldn't change much: -git-branch - List, create, or delete branches +git-branch - List, create, delete, or diff branches I hesitate to hit send again, in case I'm once again overlooking a glaringly obvious problem with this idea. ;) -- Todd ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand.
