Tag is a pointer to a commit (if to say simply) e.g. in my repo $ git show-ref --tags --abbrev=7 -->8-- 676f194 refs/tags/v2.6.7 b23c481 refs/tags/v2.6.8 -->8-- so $ git diff v2.6.7..v2.6.8 is equivalent to $ git diff 676f194..b23c481 etc > Hi, > > when using a somewhat older git (of SLES11 SP1 SDK), I could not find > a way to "git diff" between two tag names; I can only diff between > two commit numbers. I can display a changeset using "git show", but > that's not what I wanted. Is it possible to get the diff I want using > older versions, and is such a feature implemented in the current > version? If so, since when? > > As I'm not subscribed to the list, I'd appreciate CC'ed replies. > Thank you. > > Greeting > Ulrich > > -- 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
