Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev

2006-11-05 01:46:47 UTC

tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux-2.6 $ git --version
git version 1.4.3.3
tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux-2.6 $ git diff
diff --git a/drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c b/drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c
tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux-2.6 $ ls -l drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 tfoerste users 143362 Nov  5 10:43 drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c

Why this file (yes, I edited it but reverted the changes) is displayed without any diff lines ?
BTW LESS is unset.

They somehow differ because timestamps differ, but the content is unchanged. git status will say that nothing changed, and it won't commit anything since there is nothing to commit.
