(Use a single space > + as separator.) Hmm. Just looking at this as a git user, I would have expected it to take one or more hashes, separated by spaces. If only one, then it must be a commit, and it is diffed against its parents. If more than one, then each must be a tree-ish. So you could diff a commit against a tree (or a tag against a commit, or...). And I think it might even be easier to code. ;) -Peff -- 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
