1-p:: 2 Generate patch (see section on generating patches) 3 4-u:: 5 Synonym for "-p". 6 7-z:: 8 \0 line termination on output 9 10--name-only:: 11 Show only names of changed files. 12 13--name-status:: 14 Show only names and status of changed files. 15 16--full-index:: 17 Instead of the first handful characters, show full 18 object name of pre- and post-image blob on the "index" 19 line when generating a patch format output. 20 21--abbrev[=<n>]:: 22 Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object 23 name in diff-raw format output and diff-tree header 24 lines, show only handful hexdigits prefix. This is 25 independent of --full-index option above, which controls 26 the diff-patch output format. Non default number of 27 digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>. 28 29-B:: 30 Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create. 31 32-M:: 33 Detect renames. 34 35-C:: 36 Detect copies as well as renames. 37 38--find-copies-harder:: 39 For performance reasons, by default, -C option finds copies only 40 if the original file of the copy was modified in the same 41 changeset. This flag makes the command 42 inspect unmodified files as candidates for the source of 43 copy. This is a very expensive operation for large 44 projects, so use it with caution. 45 46-l<num>:: 47 -M and -C options require O(n^2) processing time where n 48 is the number of potential rename/copy targets. This 49 option prevents rename/copy detection from running if 50 the number of rename/copy targets exceeds the specified 51 number. 52 53-S<string>:: 54 Look for differences that contain the change in <string>. 55 56--pickaxe-all:: 57 When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that 58 changeset, not just the files that contain the change 59 in <string>. 60 61-O<orderfile>:: 62 Output the patch in the order specified in the 63 <orderfile>, which has one shell glob pattern per line. 64 65-R:: 66 Swap two inputs; that is, show differences from index or 67 on-disk file to tree contents. 68 69For more detailed explanation on these common options, see also 70link:diffcore.html[diffcore documentation].
