Re: Git diff --no-index --no-prefix output loses leading slash in paths
This is a feature request; sorry for the confusion. My guess is that it's a corner case that was not considered due to the default prefixing. > On Jun 18, 2018, at 10:59 AM, Duy Nguyen wrote: > > On Mon, Jun 18, 2018 at 4:36 PM George King wrote: >> >> As of 2.17.1, `git diff --no-index --no-prefix relative/path /absolute/path` >> produces the following: > > I checked as far back as v1.4.0 and git behaved the same way too.

Git diff --no-index --no-prefix output loses leading slash in paths
As of 2.17.1, `git diff --no-index --no-prefix relative/path /absolute/path` produces the following: diff --git relative/path absolute/path index XXX..YYY ZZ --- relative/path +++ absolute/path The leading slash on `absolute/path` is lost. This is unfortunate; my use case is a diff highlighter that parses and reformats paths so that code editors can autodetect them and link to the files. Would the maintainers please consider fixing the output to preserve absolute paths? Thank you, George King
