Git diff-file bug?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello.
I'm fairly new to git and am witnessing some strange behavior with git
that I suspect may be a bug. Can anyone set my mind at rest.

Every so often (I've not quite figured out the exact set of
circumstances yet)  "git diff-files" shows that every file in my repo
is modified, when I expect none to be. If I type "git status" (which
shows what I expect - no files modified) and then "git diff-files"
again, git now shows that no files have been modified (which is what I
expect). It's like "git status" is resetting something that "git
diff-files" uses.

I'm trying to figure out what the problem with "git diff-files" is
because gitk uses it under the hood, and I think that gitk is
reporting  erroneous changes (which are also reset by performing a
"git status" in the repo) in the "patch" files list.

Any thoughts? I'm using git 1.7.11.4 on SLES 10.3.

Thanks,
Scott.
