No, the repo was just created for demonstrating purposes. But when i commit that last change, then do a "git --format-patch -1", i get something like diff --git a/b b/b new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..a64a5a93fb4aef4d5f63d79cb2582731b9ac5063 GIT binary patch literal 512 NcmZQz7zHCa1ONg600961 literal 0 HcmV?d00001 I would expect "git diff" to output the same information. I don't see a reason why it outputs the diff for a new text file, but not for a binary file?
