[QUESTION] how to diff one blob with nothing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I want to diff two blobs right now, and one of them
may be empty, so I tried using
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 or
e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 (empty blobID)
to test its effect, and the result I found was:

git diff 00750edc07d6415dcc07ae0351e9397b0222b7ba
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
fatal: bad object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

git diff 00750edc07d6415dcc07ae0351e9397b0222b7ba
e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
fatal: bad object e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391

Since the "empty object" has not been created, the
git diff operation fails.

There may be some other methods [1] available to diff
two blobs by creating an empty blob, but I don't want to
create this empty blob, are there any other ways to solve
this problem?
