Issue 3239: Difference between patch sets does not show file added and then removed
Status:  New
Owner: ----
Reported by stephen....@smoothwall.net, Mar 11, 2015
Affected Version: 2.9.3

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Submit a patch set that adds a new file.
2. Submit a second patch set for the change that no longer add the new file.
3. Set the Reference version to Patch Set 1.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect the new file that was in patch set 1 and not in patch set 2 to show as removed as it is showing the differences between patch set 2 and patch set 1.

Instead the file is just not shown. So it can make it look as if there are no changes between the patch sets.

Even if patch 1 does not add a new file, but just modifies some file, and patch 2 then reverts those changes relative to the baseline, looking at the diff between patch 1 and 2 fails to list that file.  See e.g. <https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/19071/2>, then "Diff against: 1: 41a733" does not list "sw/source/core/text/blink.cxx".
