title: git diff two repositories, get results from .git dir?
body: <p>I have two versions of a git repo on my computer, I wanted to know which is the differences between them, so I can know whether I should pull or not from the other repo.</p>
  
  <p>I did a "git diff amslib ../workspace/amslib" and instead of showing me the differences between just the committed files in both repositories, it started to give me the differences in the .git directory too.</p>
  
  <p>I suppose I'm not using the commands right, can anyone tell me how I should do it? I just want to know which version of the code has what changes, so I can either merge them, pull them, or manually copy them because I want some changes, but not others.</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
