Subject: Error after calling git difftool -d with
Message-ID: <5f630c90-cf54-3a23-c9a9-af035d4514e0@gmail.com>

Dear,

Incase filenames are used with a quote ' or a bracket [  (and maybe some 
more characters), git "diff" and "difftool -y" works fine, but git 
*difftool **-d* gives the next error message:

    peter@scm_ws_10 MINGW64 /d/Dev/test (master)
    $ git diff

    $


This issue is inside V2.10.x and V2.11.0.
V2.9.0 is working correctly...

I am using git for windows and beyond compare 4.0 as difftool.

Best regards,

Peter
