Summary:
When specifying a pathspec including a branch/commit, path separator
characters are not translated. Since tab-completion in windows shells (ex:
CMD, PowerShell, not unix-style shells running on windows) uses the windows
path separator, and other git commands work fine with the windows path
separator, the expected behavior would be to translate for me.
Reproduction:
git diff BRANCH:path\to\file path\to\file
Result:
fatal: Path 'path\to\file' does not exist in 'BRANCH'
Expected:
Normal diff operation
Workaround:
Manually convert pathspec. Examples of working command:
git diff BRANCH:path/to/file path\to\otherfile
git diff BRANCH:path/to/file path/to/otherfile
That's not a bug, it is expected behavior. BRANCH:path/to/file is not
file on disk syntax, but Git's syntax to reference a particular object
in the database. For this reason, forward-slashes are mandated; there is
no option to use backslashes in this case.
Backslashes could actually be part of directory and file names in the
database. It would be impossible to check out a tree with such names on
Windows, obviously.
