git_diff_tree_to_index (libgit2 v0.18.0)

git_diff_tree_to_index

Version:

Create a diff list between a tree and repository index.

This is equivalent to git diff --cached <treeish> or if you pass the HEAD tree, then like git diff --cached.

The tree you pass will be used for the "old_file" side of the delta, and the index will be used for the "new_file" side of the delta.
