Hi all,
since that "difftool overwrites files outside of the git
repository"-thingy is apparently not considered a bug, could you please
point me to the correct usage of difftool or a workaround?
To recall the situation:
- git repo contains a symlink pointing outside of the repository to a
non-existing file
- that symlink gets replaced by a regular file
- using 'git difftool -d ${oldstate}..${newstate}' overwrites the file
the symlink was pointing to (which might fail if the target is not writable)
Kind regards
Philippe
