The problem is that diffutils-2.8.7-15 and -18 (which seem to be the same...) have cherry-picked a "fix" from CVS (cmp-eof-dev-null.diff), which is wrong. It was fixed in diffutils CVS, and I submitted a bug report in openSUSEÂ's bugzilla. So, look out for diffutils-2.8.7-15 on openSUSE (although it only breaks the _tests_, not git itself!). Ciao, Dscho
