I will not comment on "on purpose?" part, as I do not use difftool myself. But the right set of questions to ask is not the above, but these: - Is it on purpose that difftool runs its diff viewer from the top of the working tree? - Is there any existing user who depends on that current behaviour? IOW, would anybody suffer if difftool suddenly starts to run the diff viewer from the subdirectory that the user started "git difftool" from? If the answers to both of them are No, then it might be a good idea to change the behaviour. -- 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
