So for a topic branch based on master, I can diff ONLY my changes on the topic branch by doing this simple command:
$ git diff origin/master...
However, this does not include uncommitted working copy changes. To work around this, I can do this instead:
$ git diff origin/master
(No three-dot notation above)
However this implies a ".." notation which will include changes on master that have been made after I branched my topic (I use three-dot to exclude those).
Is there a way I can do the first diff but also include working copy changes? The reason I'm wanting to do this is because with difftool in particular I like to make changes on the "right" side of each diff and have those changes carry over to my working copy as edits I can commit. This doesn't always work, especially if those same files are already modified in my working copy but not committed.
