I use arc under windows 7 with git bash.
When I perform an arc diff from a working directory other than the repository root, I get
$ arc diff Usage Exception: `arc diff` is only supported under git, hg, svn.
It would be a very convenient feature if this action could be done from anywhere in the repository.
From your reaction I take it that this behaviour is not supposed to be.
Clone a repository in a folder repo/ under windows 7.
Put an .arcconfig file in repo/ containing
{
"history.immutable" : true,
"phabricator.uri" : "http://lmyserver/"
}From a git bash do:
$ cd repo/some/folder $ arc diff Usage Exception: `arc diff` is only supported under git, hg, svn. $ cd repo/ $ arc diff # Everything is fine, text editor boots up
I'm going to guess this is T8298. These commands run fine in *nix, but not on Windows. There are diffs out for review.
