How to reopen a closed "arc diff"?

Our team uses Git for code management & Phabricator's Differential tool, and the command-line tool Arcanist on each developer's machine, to generate nice-looking code-review dashboards. I created a diff D1 and it got successfully closed after being reviewed by my fellow developer. I created another branch from a separate git branch B2. Merged the code from the closed revision D1. When I tried to create a new diff D2 using arc diff, I get the error

Exception ERR_CLOSED: This revision has already been closed.

Is there a way to create a new diff D2.

If somehow you cannot create a new diff, even using arc diff --create, Perhaps you have a saved revision message fom earlier arc diff executions in .git/arc/create-message, with a line that say

Differential Revision: ... (some url)

Try to delete that line, or just an url after the colon. According to this comment and my experience, this can help.

If ignoring the current revision and just creating a new one (D35) fits your workflow, as it does ours, you have to specify that you want to create a new revision:

arc diff --create master

Hope this helps mates who are struggling with the same issue.
