Hi all,

$ git diff

diff --git a/Firmware/Firmware.ccscc b/Firmware/Firmware.ccscc
old mode 100755
new mode 100644
....
returns a list of files where the mode was changed, which seems to be
correct. Also
modified files are flaged.
I wonder why
$ git diff --diff-filter=T
outputs nothing.
I am running this under cygwin.

Thanks,
Alf

Isn't 'T' about *t*ype change, i.e. change between ordinary file, symlink, directory and commit (submodule)?

Or perhaps this is a cause.

Re: git-diff question

Hi,

regarding git diff --help:

 --diff-filter=[ACDMRTUXB*]
        Select only files that are Added (A), Copied (C), Deleted (D),
        Modified (M), Renamed (R), have their type (mode) changed (T),
        are Unmerged (U), are Unknown (X), or have had their pairing

and git diff reports mode changes...

CU, Alf
