git difftool --dir-diff error in the presence of symlinks to directories

Reproduce like this (using git 2.4.3): git init mkdir foo touch foo/bar git add . git commit -m "Initial commit." ln -s foo link git add . git commit -m "Add link to foo." git difftool -d HEAD^ HEAD That last command outputs: fatal: Unable to hash /Users/isbadawi/test/link hash-object /Users/isb
