I'm happy to do that and in fact considered it, but since
--diff-filter exists, I figured it might solve the problem. I also
need a better understanding of how diff-filter works since it
technically has 2 sides during a merge conflict. I guess it functions
only on the right (local) side.

Thanks Junio.

As far as "git diff [--cached]" (which is "compare HEAD with the
working tree through index") is concerned, these paths are in the
"U"nmerged category, so you'd give "U" to diff-filter to view them.
Of course, that would give you other kinds of unmerged entries.

If you know they show up as DU, why not "grep DU" in that output?

diff --diff-filter on modified but locally deleted files

2016-08-17 Thread Robert Dailey
My use case is that I do a merge from branch A to branch B. Branch A
modified a file which is already deleted on B some time before the
merge.

When I do a `git status -sb`, these locally deleted but remotely
modified files show up as "DU".

I want to invoke git status or diff (or something else) to get a list
of these specific conflicts (locally deleted, remotely modified). I
tried this:

$ git diff --diff-filter=D --name-status

This gave me no results. I also tried adding --cached, didn't make a
difference. If I just do this:

$ git diff --name-status

This lists those files as just U instead of DU. So I'm not sure where
the "D" is coming from in this case.

Is there a way I can get a list of these specific conflicts? I'd like
to rely on working/index status for this if possible, since as I
resolve these conflicts I want the list to shorten and only show
unresolved conflicts of this type. Which rules out a diff range
between B...A that I could do.
