When I commit certain files, I would like to send a diff via email to interested parties. So I added a commit-msg hook, which checks the list of files for that commit. That part works fine. However in the email I would like to include a diff of the file(s) in question. Now when I run "git diff -- '$file'", I get no output, probably because the file is in some semi-committed state. So how can I obtain a diff for a file in a commit-msg hook?
