Hi,<br><br>I wanted to draw your attention to the following use case: In git, if you have changes that include new files these are not shown with git diff, but with git diff HEAD. So, currently, if I want to generate a patch that includes new files, I can't do that from the View Differences... menu in the Git plugin. Would it be good to change the command to git diff HEAD instead? Would it break anything else?<br>



<br>To replicate this use case you can do the following:<br><br>$ mkdir gittest<br>$ cd gittest<br>$ git init<br>$ echo "First file" > first-file<br>$ git add first-file<br>$ git commit -m "adding first file"<br>



$ echo "First file modified" > first-file<br>$ echo "Second file" > second-file<br>$ git add second-file<br>$ git diff<br>$ git diff HEAD<br><br>Notice the difference between the last two outputs.<br>
