Subject: Strange output of 'git diff <revision1>:<file> <revision2>:<file>'
Message-ID: <e9aff7$nk1$1@sea.gmane.org>

git diff output for files specified by revision is somewhat unexpected. 

  $ git diff <revision_1>:<file> <revision_2>:<file>

outputs the following diff metainfo

  diff --git a/<revision_2>:<file> b/<revision_2>:<file>
  index 5eabe06..2e87de4 100644
  --- a/<revision_2>:<file>
  +++ b/<revision_2>:<file>

Is it intended, or is it a bug? Looks like a bug to me...

git 1.4.0 (git-core-1.4.0-1.fc4 by Fedora Project).
