Hhhm, that's not exactly the problem.
git diff --patch-with-stat 45c82b5 t/trivial/typo-kernel -- $path
expects $path to be relative to the top working tree.
IMHO this is a strange behaviour of core git when comparing two trees (and not a tree and the wc). Moreover as the output uses "absolute" paths:
ukleinek@cassiopeia:~/gsrc/linux-2.6/fs$ git diff --patch-with-stat 45c82b5 t/trivial/typo-kernel -- proc/nommu.c | diffstat -p0 b/fs/proc/nommu.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
