2 Generate patch (see section on generating patches)
8 Look recursively in subdirectories; this flag does not
9 mean anything to commands other than "git-diff-tree";
10 other diff commands always look at all the subdirectories.
13 \0 line termination on output
16 Show only names of changed files.
19 Show only names and status of changed files.
22 Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create.
28 Detect copies as well as renames.
30 --find-copies-harder::
31 By default, -C option finds copies only if the original
32 file of the copy was modified in the same changeset for
33 performance reasons. This flag makes the command
34 inspect unmodified files as candidates for the source of
35 copy. This is a very expensive operation for large
36 projects, so use it with caution.
39 -M and -C options require O(n^2) processing time where n
40 in the number of potential rename/copy targets. This
41 option prevents rename/copy detection from running if
42 the number of rename/copy targets exceed the specified
46 Look for differences that contains the change in <string>.
49 When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that
50 changeset, not just the files that contains the change
54 Output the patch in the order specified in the
55 <orderfile>, which has one shell glob pattern per line.
58 Swap two inputs; that is, show differences from cache or
59 on-disk file to tree contents.
