Apparently they fell out over Truffaut's DAY FOR NIGHT (LA NUIT AMERICAINE,
1973), when Godard - who in a later book suggested the film mythified and
mystified film rather than illuminating it ("and that's why the Americans
love it so much") - quipped that the one shot Truffaut had omitted was himself
and Jacqueline Bisset leaving or entering a restaurant holding hands - their
affair being, according to Godard, the only reason Truffaut had made the
film in the first place. Whereupon Truffaut called Godard an a**hole, and
that was that.
