Using Git Diff

Having never performed a Git Diff on Tags I thought I'd give a simple demonstration of what to do. We currently use fab for tagging and deploying Git projects at work and all in all it seems to do it well, its the first deployment aid which I have seen whilst using Git and as we transition from sub version to Git it fills the gap until proper release and deployment scripts can be written.

Get the current history for the project you want to diff version.
git hist



Get the git tag commit hash's 

tag v10 = 8df952f
tag v11 = 1ed9472

Diff the versions:

git diff 8df952f..1ed9472

You how should be presented with the diff between those git commits.
