From c9e1f2c7f2acca17c629255b96761a4a1047a28a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 16:11:39 -0700 Subject: diff-no-index: DWIM "diff D F" into "diff D/F F" "git diff --no-index" was supposed to be a poor-man's approach to allow using Git diff goodies outside of a Git repository, without having to patch mainstream diff implementations. Unlike a POSIX diff that treats "diff D F" (or "diff F D") as a request to compare D/F and F (or F and D/F) when D is a directory and F is a file, however, we did not accept such a command line and instead barfed with "file/directory conflict". Imitate what POSIX diff does and append the basename of the file after the name of the directory before comparing.
