Hi,

when using a somewhat older git (of SLES11 SP1 SDK), I could not find a way to "git diff" between two tag names; I can only diff between two commit numbers. I can display a changeset using "git show", but that's not what I wanted. Is it possible to get the diff I want using older versions, and is such a feature implemented in the current version? If so, since when?

As I'm not subscribed to the list, I'd appreciate CC'ed replies. Thank you.

Greeting Ulrich
