Others have suggested diffing between two arbitrary revisions, and limiting the diff by path. E.g.: git diff HEAD~3 HEAD -- tree.c which works just fine. But I find it more intuitive to simply specify the diff between two blobs (or trees, if you want), like: git diff HEAD~3:tree.c HEAD:tree.c The added bonus is that you can also use this syntax to diff two files with different names. -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
