The diff view always is empty

[MarcelMue]

I am a bit confused by your report. What happens if you click Compare (which should usually populate the diff view) ? Are there any errors thrown?

[rkmax]

No. I don't see errors but the diff view it's empty always, even if I clicked some file to compare

[MarcelMue]

Okay I marked this as a bug, does this happen with every git repository you work on? What Atom version are you using?

[rkmax]

Yes, it's happening with all repositories. I'm using atom 1.0.2, git control 0.3.0, let me know if you need further information

I think your issue could be related to #40 but both issues seem to affect a small user base and I was unable to find a reason for the behavior so far ( some users have reported similar issues appearing and then disappearing again seemingly randomly which makes it hard to find the problem )

is there any chance git-control may have conflicts with another extension?

@MarcelMue I reinstalled atom and now works! (mysteries of the universe). I think was something with my extensions

Having the exact same issue just now.

I deleted a file (which was previously committed) and then I got an error message in the git-control console area:

> git --no-pager diff DELETED_FILENAME
fatal: DELETED_FILENAME: no such path in the working tree.
'git --no-pager diff DELETED_FILENAME'

The reason that it depends on a commit with a deleted file explains why the problem seems to appear "randomly".

Anyway: @jacogr your extension is really awesome! Thank you for it.
