This issue is inside V2.10.x and V2.11.0.
V2.9.0 is working correctly...
You say v2.11.0, but did you also try the new, experimental builtin
difftool? You can test without reinstalling:
git -c difftool.useBuiltin=true difftool -d ...
FWIW, I verified that this problem does not manifest itself on
Linux, using the current scripted difftool.
Peter, what actual diff tool are you using?
Since these filenames work fine with "difftool -d" on Linux, it
suggests that this is either a tool-specific issue, or an issue
related to unix-to-windows path translation.
Hi all,
@Johannes: "git -c difftool.useBuiltin=true difftool -d" works OK :-),
beyond compare is launching with the diff's displayed
@David: I am using Beyond Compare V4.1.9
Best regards,
Peter
