Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue. What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) mkdir git-copy-lost cd git-copy-lost git init touch file git add file git commit -am "message" git rm file git commit -am "message" git difftool --tool=meld -d HEAD^ In meld right click on `file` in left pane and press "Copy To Right" in menu Quit meld ls -l What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) `file` is present in working directory What happened instead? (Actual behavior) `file` is absent in working directory What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? `file` is missing while it was copied in meld with "Copy To Right" button Anything else you want to add: This bug was also reported for meld but I don't think meld can do anything with it because copied file is being lost in temporary directory like /tmp/git-difftool.7bOf2n/right/ created by git Meld bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/issues/555 Please review the rest of the bug report below.
