I think the rule should be much stricter and "git diff" should _not_ use no-index if run in a repository without --no-index. I also suspect that your updates to the testsuite are grossly inadequate. Earlier "diff expect actual" was replaced with "git diff expect actual" against my good taste (TM) in many tests, and they need to either be replaced with "git diff --no-index" or (even better) "test_cmp". No need to resend, as I did a rather unpleasant conversion of these places back to "test_cmp" already, but I'd appreciate an extra set of eyeballs to proofread that rather large fix to the testsuite. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
