'git diff' is the correct command to display a difference between the worktree and the index (staging area). 'git difftool' is used to invoke an external (usually graphical) tool to display the differences. Perhaps you have some odd configuration causing meld to be invoked (diff.external maybe). Could you post the output of 'git config -l' and 'git --version' -- 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
