That diff command compares the working tree and HEAD; if you are trying to match `ls-files -m`, you probably wanted just `git diff --name-only` to compare the working tree and the index. Although in a script you'd probably want to use the plumbing `git diff-files` instead. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
