Re: Git vs svn. Is ... possible ?

Hi Rafał,

Well, the actual question is:
In svn I can do a remote diff (diff between two remote revisions) without
having to do a checkout, is this possible for git ?

The question makes no sense to me. Git by design is a distributed SCM 
tool, so there is no such thing like "remote revisions". You can have 
tracking branches (clones) of some remote repositories, but all the 
commits on such branches are also stored locally. So you have full 
access to them, even without a permanent connection to such remote 
repositories.

And answering to the second part of your question: Yes, you can do "git 
diff" operation between any of the commits in the repository you are 
working with. No need to checkout before. You can perform "git diff" 
even on a bare repository without the working three.

Please refer to "man git-diff" for more info.

BR,
/Adam
