latexdiff-vc cant find diff file

[sz-slodowicz]

while executing latexdiff i get the following message:

$ latexdiff-vc --git --force -r Versioning.tex --pdf
Working on  Versioning.tex
Running: latexdiff   "Versioning-oldtmp-304.tex" "Versioning.tex" > "Versioning-diff.tex"

<*> Versioning-diff.tex;

Please type another input file name:

I do not understand why, beacaue the file .tex file and the tex.TEMPXXX is created in the directory. Without the --pdf option the process is successfull.

On my system I cannot reproduce the error. On which system are you, and which shell are you using. latexdiff-vc makes extensive use of system (i.e. command line) commands. The error message with the \mv suggests that the semi-colon is not interpreted as a command separator by the shell you are using.
