Diffing arbitrary commits in stash/fisheye?

Question

(git) I have two commits a and b, and I want to do a diff for a given file name between these two (like 'git diff a..b filename'). Is there any way I can do so in either stash or fisheye, and hopefully, is a page doing so adressable by a URL that contains the filename and commit hashes?

Hi Andreas

It's definitelly achievable in FishEye, see https://fisheye6.atlassian.com/browse/activemq-git/maven.xml?r1=1baf9f1&r2=a094f32 for example.

If I am not mistaken it is not possible in Stash but there is an open feature request for it, https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/STASH-2513 Feel free to vote on it if you find it useful.

Kind regards,

(I could just do the diff, color it, and throw it into HTML, but then the side-by-side diff feature wouldn't be there, as would some other niceties of stash.)
