Someone popped this question on me.  The closest I got was:
   git diff .
But that still recurses.  Any solutions without patching?

Not without patching, no. When generating a patch, git diff always

recurses.
I suspect adding some kind of "-l" flag would be about five lines of code,

though, so if you really need it... Hint, hint.

Another option than the ones suggested:

git diff|filterdiff -x '*/*/*'
filterdiff is available from the "patchutils" package.

Maybe a scripted version?  For just 'git diff .', this should work:
  git diff $(git ls-files . | grep -v /)
That will still do the wrong thing if you diff against an older commit

with a different list of files.  In that case you need the list of

files in the other side of the diff too:
  git diff HEAD^..  -- $(git ls-files . | grep -v /; git ls-tree HEAD^ | cu=

t -f2)

git diff $(git ls-files --exclude-standard . | fgrep -v /)
This doesn't seem to do the right thing, it messes up with which commit we

diff.

Hi,
I do not know cvs that well anymore.  So I do not know what -l does.  Care 
That is easy.  52 light ones.

Usage: cvs diff [-lR] [-k kopt] [format_options]

    [[-r rev1 | -D date1] [-r rev2 | -D date2]] [files...]

        -l      Local directory only, not recursive
It shows the diff for all files in the current directory, nothing
I presume you mean "lightweeks", and yes, that would probably fit the bill :-).

Hi,
Okay.  This is my version of a solution:
	$ find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 git diff
And no, there is not an easier way.  Probably since Git has a snapshot

based idea of the contents, i.e. it does not think that the files in a

revision are decoupled.  Not even the ones in different directories.
