This has all the context: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22698505/how-to-show-full-paths-in-git-diff I'd like `--show-abs-path` to show absolute paths in: git diff --show-abs-path args... eg: git diff --no-index `get_file1` `get_file2` could show: --- a/Users/timothee/temp/ripgrep/help0.txt +++ b/help1.txt * passing '--dst-prefix=$PWD' and '--src-prefix=$PWD' doesn't help because path arguments could be absolute, so it'll create $PWD/Users/timothee/temp/ripgrep/help0.txt (wrong) * passing '--dst-prefix=.' will behave weirdly, replacing leading `/` by `.` (seems wrong) diff --git .Users/timothee/temp/ripgrep/help0.txt b/help1.txt NOTE: I'm invoking the `git diff` command via a more complicated case (with multiple arguments including git diff flags and git diff files), so it's awkward for me to parse which arguments correspond to a file vs a flag (ie prevents easily converting input file arguments to absolute paths), but `git` could do it easily via a flag, eg `--show-abs-path`
