Re: Inconsistency in specifying commit & path for git diff

Arthur Etchells [off-list ref] writes:

git diff <commit>:<path>..<commit>:<path>

<commit>:<path> represents a tree or blob, but .. requires commits as
its end points.

(You can dereference a commit to get a tree or blob, but not the other
way round.)
