Hhhm, that's not exactly the problem. git diff --patch-with-stat 45c82b5 t/trivial/typo-kernel -- $path expects $path to be relative to the top working tree. IMHO this is a strange behaviour of core git when comparing two trees (and not a tree and the wc). Moreover as the output uses "absolute" paths: ukleinek@cassiopeia:~/gsrc/linux-2.6/fs$ git diff --patch-with-stat 45c82b5 t/trivial/typo-kernel -- proc/nommu.c | diffstat -p0 b/fs/proc/nommu.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) Best regards Uwe -- Pengutronix e.K. | Uwe Kleine-König | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | -- 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
