Using Git (1.7.7.6), it appears that if I run "git diff" in a
directory that is not part of a Git working copy, it produces this
error message:
$ git diff
usage: git diff [--no-index] <path> <path>
$
1) This message doesn't tell the user what went wrong. (Indeed,
invoking "git diff" with no arguments is valid in a working copy.)
2) The usage message is incorrect, in that the manual page lists four
fundamental invocation formats:
git diff [options] [<commit>] [--] [<path>...]
git diff [options] --cached [<commit>] [--] [<path>...]
git diff [options] <commit> <commit> [--] [<path>...]
git diff [options] [--no-index] [--] <path> <path>
Am I correct here?
