The word-diff logic accumulates + and - lines until another line type appears (normally [ @\]), at which point it generates the word diff. This is usually correct, but it breaks when the preimage does not have a newline at EOF: $ printf "%s" "a a a" >a $ printf "%s\n" "a ab a" >b $ git diff --no-index --word-diff a b diff --git 1/a 2/b index 9f68e94..6a7c02f 100644 --- 1/a +++ 2/b @@ -1 +1 @@ [-a a a-] No newline at end of file {+a ab a+} Because of the order of the lines in a unified diff @@ -1 +1 @@ -a a a \ No newline at end of file +a ab a the '\' line flushed the buffers, and the - and + lines were never matched with each other. A proper fix would defer such markers until the end of the hunk. However, word-diff is inherently whitespace-ignoring, so as a cheap fix simply ignore the marker (and hide it from the output). We use a prefix match for '\ ' to parallel the logic in apply.c:parse_fragment(). We currently do not localize this string (just accept other variants of it in git-apply), but this should be future-proof.
