Not possible to use optional path limiter [-- <path>*] about git-diffall HOT 4 CLOSED

The features of git diffall were integrated into mainline git in v1.7.11 (back in June of 2012). I recommend reading git help difftool and using git difftool --dir-diff.

from git-diffall.

With git difftool, the path limiter works like this:

$ git version
git version 2.13.1

$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

	modified:   README
	modified:   test/example.txt

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

$ git difftool -d -- test

My difftool then only shows the changes to test/example.txt. README is ignored.

Thank you, Tim.

That is funny. I was using git diffal for a while since I was not familiar with this option for difftool.

Thank you for the response and for creating the script. It is essencial in my option. Makes all the sense to be integrated in Git.

thenigan,

Is there any version of your diffall script with [-- path *] command implemented?

I did try difftool, but for some reason sometimes it does not show all modified files. I am working with BeyondCompare as difftool.
