As per the git-diff documentation, these two versions behave equally -- i.e. no differences.

Comparing branches $ git diff topic master <1> $ git diff topic..master <2> $ git diff topic...master <3> ‪1.‬ Changes between the tips of the topic and the master branches. ‪2.‬ Same as above. ‪3.‬ Changes that occurred on the master branch since when the topic branch was started off it.

Cheers, Frans
