Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue. What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) `git checkout -b to-branch; git checkout from-branch -- filenames; git status; git diff` What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) `git status` expected to show updated files and `git diff` expected to show file changes. What happened instead? (Actual behavior) `git status` showed updated files but `git diff` showed no file changes. What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? `git diff` was expected to show file changes but it showed nothing instead. Anything else you want to add: If I `git reset -q HEAD -- filenames`, `git diff` starts showing file changes. Please review the rest of the bug report below.
