Dear diary, on Sat, Oct 21, 2006 at 12:50:31AM CEST, I got a letter
where Jakub Narebski [off-list ref] said that...
P.S. what Git lacks at least now is a way to generate diff between
two different local repositories, but you can always setup alternates
file and fetch the other repository into some tag.
It's not exactly convenient, but you can do
xpasky@machine[0:0]~/git$ GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES=../cogito/.git/objects cg-diff -r `GIT_DIR=../cogito/.git cg-object-id -c HEAD`..HEAD
I don't personally think it's worth a special UI, but there're no
boundaries for initiative... :-)
