From d516c2d11945cf13ed3d961fa63817c60b7a566b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2007 21:50:10 +0100 Subject: Teach git-diff-files the new option `--no-index` With this flag and given two paths, git-diff-files behaves as a GNU diff lookalike (plus the git goodies like --check, colour, etc.). This flag is also available in git-diff. It also works outside of a git repository. In addition, if git-diff{,-files} is called without revision or stage parameter, and with exactly two paths at least one of which is not tracked, the default is --no-index. So, you can now say git diff /etc/inittab /etc/fstab and it actually works! This also unifies the duplicated argument parsing between cmd_diff_files() and builtin_diff_files().
