I could be wrong, but I have the impression (even after actually testing 
it) that "git diff d8a60" is equivalent to "git diff d8a60..HEAD", _not_ 
"git diff d8a60^..d8a60".

IIRC we had a "-p" flag to denote "parent" once upon a time, but that no 
longer works...

"git-show" is definitely what you want.

Ciao,
