Use bbdiff to view differences between branches

[Ted Stresen-Reuter]

Hi,

I've got the following in my .git/config file 

[diff]
tool = bbdiff
[difftool "bbdiff"]
cmd = bbdiff --wait --resume \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"
[difftool]
prompt = false

but when I execute:

git difftool goodbranch buggybranch

each file is opened in a separate window. It used to be that bbdiff would open two folders in a unified window. Is that not possible with git difftool?

TIA

Ted

What happens if you try `git difftool goodbranch..buggybranch` instead?

Exactly the same behavior, but I like your thinking!

Using the -d flag seems to do what you expect.

git difftool -d goodbranch buggybranch
