Hi list,
I have a script which moves data from somewhere to my local repo and
then checks it in, like so:
-----------
mv /tmp/foo.bar .
git commit -am "Updated foo.bar at $timestamp"
-----------
However, before overwriting "foo.bar" in my working directory, I'd like
to check whether my working tree is dirty (at least "foo.bar").
I tried
A) if ! git diff-index --quiet HEAD -- foo.bar; then
dirty=1
fi
and
B) if ! git diff --quiet -- foo.bar; then
dirty=1
fi
Both A) and B) work. But which one is better/faster/more reliable? Or is
there a better solution? For my purpose, I cannot see a difference
between diff and diff-index, except the syntax.
Cheers,
Dirk
