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-B:: 17 Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create. 18 19-M:: 20 Detect renames. 21 22-C:: 23 Detect copies as well as renames. 24 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. 32 33-l<num>:: 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 38 number. 39 40-S<string>:: 41 Look for differences that contain the change in <string>. 42 43--pickaxe-all:: 44 When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that 45 changeset, not just the files that contain the change 46 in <string>. 47 48-O<orderfile>:: 49 Output the patch in the order specified in the 50 <orderfile>, which has one shell glob pattern per line. 51 52-R:: 53 Swap two inputs; that is, show differences from cache or 54 on-disk file to tree contents. 55 56For more detailed explanation on these common options, see also 57link:diffcore.html[diffcore documentation].
