Subject: bug: git-diff silently fails when run outside of a repository (v1.5.4.2)
Message-ID: <3c6c07c20804291304n36976417wf3c2a13303aa3133@mail.gmail.com>

At least in version 1.5.4.2, git-diff silently fails when not run
inside a repository.  It should give an error diagnostic, especially
since "no output" would otherwise be a meaningful response.

I think there are other git programs that have this problem as well.
