How to reproduce
git init touch abc.txt touch abd.txt git add a* git commit -m 'first commit' echo 'hello' > abc.txt git add a[PRESS TAB] (This will autocomplete 'git add abc.txt') git diff a[PRESS TAB] (This will not give 'git diff abc.txt')
Suggested feature -
when I press tab, git diff should autocomplete just like git add.

I think this is somewhat harder of a usecase, as git add generally takes paths and diff can compare revisions *and* paths. I see that if I do
git diff -- [TAB]
I get all the paths as an autocomplete option, which I think is desired behavior.
Thanks, -Santiago.
If it is only about files and revisions both being handled by git diff, would it not ne possible to do something like this?
For files
git diff -f a[PRESS TAB]
For revisions
git diff -r a[PRESS TAB]
Some sort of flag which says we are handling files or revisions.

That already exists, it is spelt `--'.
