From 6c09c451389ade6477d98b05d277aab0dd2f272e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2007 22:26:33 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] diff --cached: give more sensible error message when HEAD is yet to be created. It is not like the user said 'diff --cached HEAD', so complaining about HEAD not being a valid commit, while technically might be correct, is not very helpful.
