The scenario is this:
Create a master branch - make updates - add/commit
New branch to branchB - make changes/updates - add/commit
New branch to branch C (from branchB) - make changes/updates - add/commit

issue git diff --name-status master branchB and all is good
issue git diff --name-status branchB branchC and all is good
issue git diff --name-status master branchC and get invalid results (

When I do this on my windows 10 pc everything works and no invalid results.

Using Rocket Port of git at git version 2.14.4_zos_b09
and Windows version at git version 2.17.1

Is this a known issue?

Do you mean that you simply need to get the direct difference between A and B.

 

Or do you mean you want to see hwat changed in A since B was forked, and like 
wise what changed in B since that same fork point?

 

Have a look for the three dot `...` notation to get a fork point and also the 
boundary (`<, >`) indications of left side and right side.

 

Hope that helps for a hint when cross checking with the various man pages.

 

Philip.

Is there a command that will show the files that changed when changing branches?

 

I want to have an easy way to tell which files have changed when I switch from 
Branch A to Branch B, or vice versa.

 

This seems to work but I can’t easily tell which files changed in which branch 
(or I’m just not seeing it):

 

git diff --name-status branch1 branch2

 

 

Thank you
