Hi, It looks like I found a bug in git. The problem: In my script I need to know what files were modified by given commit. I use diff-tree for it. Although it works for most cases, for initial commit it does not. Here is a sequence of actions. anatol:~ $ mkdir mkdir initialcommitissue anatol:~ $ cd initialcommitissue/ anatol:initialcommitissue $ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/anatol/initialcommitissue/.git/ anatol:initialcommitissue $ echo "First commit" > 1.txt anatol:initialcommitissue $ git add 1.txt anatol:initialcommitissue $ git commit -m "First commit" Created initial commit 31ccc6a: First commit 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 1.txt anatol:initialcommitissue $ git diff-tree HEAD <<<<< PROBLEM IS HERE anatol:initialcommitissue $ echo "Second commit" > 2.txt anatol:initialcommitissue $ git add 2.txt anatol:initialcommitissue $ git commit -m "Second commit" Created commit 51e8bcb: Second commit 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 2.txt anatol:initialcommitissue $ git diff-tree HEAD 51e8bcbb739fc8329fc092db7a84b02bbc64feb2 :000000 100644 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 c133ee6afb86d836ae607cc12e7b7b42242aa5fa A 2.txt so git diff-tree HEAD works fine but git diff-tree HEAD~1 does not. I guess in sake of consistency it should show all changed files in initial commit. -- anatol -- 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
