git diff --name-only lies

[J. Schwarz]

Hello everyone.

I am surprised by git behavior. 

I have 2 branches I need list of changed files. When I use command.

git diff --name-only 

I get list of files

when I use

git diff --name-only 

I get list of files  with minimally one file which wasn't in global list.

Next attemps works as that way.

When I add some parts of path, there occured moment when file begins to appear. I was cca half path.

$ git diff 41_Z5_aktivity --name-only -- adis_j/asba-mi-aktivity/

It scares me. Could someone explain that? Or some help appreciated.

It is a bit unclear what you mean. This may be partly a language
problem; but you also mention `git diff --name-only` twice where you
seem to expect a difference, but that expectation is illogical if the
command does not change. Copy-paste error?

That said, the command examples below do show nothing that would look
suspicious as far as I can see. Please clarify what it is that scares you.

I'm sorry. I forgot notice a name of problematic file. It's path

adis_j/asba-mi-aktivity/src/main/java-gist/adis/pmd/nt/aktivity/dto/AktivityDTO.java

I'ts listed in report 

 git diff 41_Z5_aktivity --name-only -- adis_j/asba-mi-aktivity/

but not in bigger report

git diff 41_Z5_aktivity --name-only -- adis_j/

I suppose that first list should be subset of less specified path after --

Could you clarify that please?

Thanks for your info

Most likely, the file was renamed. If both the source and the
destination are in the select path list, only the destination is listed.
Repeat the commands with --name-status to see if this is indeed the case.
