From 20de316e33446f37200e51aa333ba7d824dfd478 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2019 04:25:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] difftool: allow running outside Git worktrees with --no-index As far as this developer can tell, the conversion from a Perl script to a built-in caused the regression in the difftool that it no longer runs outside of a Git worktree (with `--no-index`, of course). It is a bit embarrassing that it took over two years after retiring the Perl version to discover this regression, but at least we now know, and can do something, about it.
