25 --find-copies-harder::
26 For performance reasons, by default, -C option finds copies only
27 if the original file of the copy was modified in the same
28 changeset. This flag makes the command
29 inspect unmodified files as candidates for the source of
30 copy. This is a very expensive operation for large
31 projects, so use it with caution.
34 -M and -C options require O(n^2) processing time where n
35 is the number of potential rename/copy targets. This
36 option prevents rename/copy detection from running if
37 the number of rename/copy targets exceeds the specified
41 Look for differences that contain the change in <string>.
44 When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that
45 changeset, not just the files that contain the change
49 Output the patch in the order specified in the
50 <orderfile>, which has one shell glob pattern per line.
53 Swap two inputs; that is, show differences from cache or
54 on-disk file to tree contents.
