It is there only to match 29 "git-diff-tree". Unlike "git-diff-tree", "git-diff-stages" 30 always looks at all the subdirectories. 31 32-z:: 33 \0 line termination on output 34 35-B:: 36 Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create. 37 38-M:: 39 Detect renames. 40 41-C:: 42 Detect copies as well as renames. 43 44--find-copies-harder:: 45 By default, -C option finds copies only if the original 46 file of the copy was modified in the same changeset for 47 performance reasons. This flag makes the command 48 inspect unmodified files as candidates for the source of 49 copy. This is a very expensive operation for large 50 projects, so use it with caution. 51 52-S<string>:: 53 Look for differences that contains the change in <string>. 54 55--pickaxe-all:: 56 When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that 57 changeset, not just the files that contains the change 58 in <string>. 59 60-O<orderfile>:: 61 Output the patch in the order specified in the 62 <orderfile>, which has one shell glob pattern per line. 63 64-R:: 65 Swap two inputs; that is, show differences from <stage2> to 66 <stage1>. 67 68Output format 69------------- 70include::diff-format.txt[] 71 72 73Author 74------ 75Written by Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> 76 77Documentation 78-------------- 79Documentation by Junio C Hamano. 80 81GIT 82--- 83Part of the link:git.html[git] suite
