Cannot use cdiff to compare two files

[kirhgoff]

I want to try cdiff just to compare two files in the folder. I type something like cdiff one.txt two.txt, and I get:

→ cdiff one.txt two.txt
fatal: two.txt: no such path in the working tree.
Use 'git -- ...' to specify paths that do not exist locally.

Yes, and I call cdiff in the folder which is git repository, and files are not added to repo.

Hi @kirhgoff, sorry it confused you. Cdiff reads the output from git diff one.txt two.txt, so you get the error from git because two.txt is not version controlled. It's by design, not a bug. You may use diff -u one.txt two.txt | cdiff to meet your needs in this case.

I suggest you put something like that to the help output as it is not clear that the only valid usage is git one. Anyway thanks for a great tool, I am using it every day!
