Yeah, I thought about that, too. I think it would be nice to use more precise placeholders like <tree-ish> or <object> (which do already occur in other places), but I suspect it might be needed/useful at more places and would better be done as a separate patch (preferably by someone who is more familiar with the internals than me). > I'm not sure if it is worth documenting that subtlety here (at least > the tree-ish thing gets mentioned later in the description; I'm not > sure we ever document "git diff HEAD:Makefile HEAD^:Makefile" > anywhere). There's gitrevisions(7) (also pointed to from the git-diff manpage) which describes those in some detail.
