difftool -d symlinks, under what conditions

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

 



I'm finding the behavior of `git difftool -d` surprising. It seems that it
only uses symlinks to the working copy for files that are modified in the
working copy since the most recent commit. I would have expected it to use
symlinks for all files whose version under comparison is the working copy
version, regardless of whether the working copy differs from the HEAD.

I'm using

    $ git --version
    git version 1.8.0

on a Mac from Homebrew.
