magit diff range on folder

[Christian Barthel]

Hello,

is it possible to do a diff on a subfolder within magit (and
exclude all other changes)?
At the moment, I am using `d r', but this gives me a complete
list of all changes. I'd like to narrow this down to one
folder.

In git(1): "git diff ref1..ref2 ./folder"

Thanks!

Is `d -- ./folder RET r ref1..ref2` what you're looking for?

Yes!  Thanks a lot.

Glad that helped! FWIW `--` is a fairly common idiom amongst the various Magit popup windows that are fronting git commands that use that on the CLI.
