Re: Can't use difftool to selectively revert changes

Sorry I'm going to go ahead and answer my own question:

$ git difftool $(git merge-base topic1 master) -- Path/SourceFile.cpp

I removed 'HEAD' from the command and now it picks up my changes and
compares to my working copy version (which is actually what I wanted).
I thought HEAD would point to my working copy version but that's
wrong.

Sorry for the superfluous post!
