Running diff in Magit, filtered to only some specific files

Question

I’m basically trying to run this command, but in Magit:

git diff master..17 -- "**/*.scala"

… i.e. to view changes in all *.scala files between ref/heads/master and ref/heads/17.

I’ve tried setting =f to this glob, but that doesn’t help.

(Same question applies to git log).

Thank you!

Answer 1

Starting with v2.8.0 Magit supports globbing in paths passed to diff and log commands. (If you use Melpa, then the respective commit is already included now.)
