Hi all,
I was fiddling with the git-diff-tree command to retrieve a list of
files which have in a commit:
$ git diff-tree --name-only HEAD
According to the documentation, the output starts with the SHA-1 of the
tree-ish given, after which the list of changed files follows. This is
the case when just one commit-id is given.
However, when given 2 tree-ish objects, the separate line with the SHA-1
is not shown.
I browsed through the code and the history for diff-tree.c, but couldn't
find an explanation for the inconsistency. The documentation for the
--no-commit-id confuses me a bit more, as it states that the commit id
is shown 'when applicable'. Unfortunately, it fails to explain when
exactly that is :-)
Have I found a documentation bug/shortcoming, is it a code bug or am I
misunderstanding something else?
