arc diff should be able to work with uncommitted changes
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

Trying to run arc diff inside a git project with uncommitted changes will fail. According to the CLI help the --uncommitted can be used to avoid that problem, but this feature is available only in mercurial.

Are there any plans to implement this for git?

There are no plans to implement this for Git. Git has had robust history rewriting for a long time.

The flag exists in Mercurial only because rewriting history is generally more difficult, and was significantly more difficult until recently.
