Is this normal behaviour? I can't reproduce the problem here. For example, in git.git, both of the following produce the same output: git blame HEAD~5..HEAD~3 alloc.c git blame HEAD~5..HEAD~3 -- alloc.c Can you provide the exact set of commands to replicate your repository state and show the failure? Also, I tested with the current 'master'. Are you using an older version of git? -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
