  • 1.  Git Diff Anomaly with Rocket Port

    Posted 06-23-2020 07:28

    I’m attempting to determine the changed files between two different branches and what I’ve found is an anomaly that I can’t recreate on the git on Windows.

    The scenario:

    1. Create a repository - branch master
    2. add some files, git add/commit
    3. Create a new branch - B1
    4. add a file, change an existing
    5. git add/commit
    6. git diff --name-status master…B1
    7. works great as does the reverse
    8. Create a new branch from B1 -> B2
    9. add/remove/change files
    10. git add/commit
    11. git diff --name-status B2…master
    12. the results that I’m seeing are the diff for B1 and B2 but NOT B2 and master.

    Is this a known issue? Thoughts/suggestions?

    Is there a better way to get the list of files changed (add/rename/delete/update) between two branches?

    Hello lbdyck,

    Can you please give more detailed scenario, I can’t reproduce your problem with the following scenario:

    mkdir 1
    cd 1
    git init
    echo test > test
    git add test
    git commit -m “c1”
    git branch B1
    git checkout B1
    echo test2 > test2
    echo test_upd > test
    git add .
    git commit -m “c2”
    git diff --name-status master…B1
    git branch B2
    git checkout B2
    rm -f test2
    echo test3 > test3
    echo test_newupd > test
    git add .
    git commit -m “c3”
    git diff --name-status B2…master

    Having the same behaviour on the git on Windows and USS

    Thanks,
    Alexander
