When paths 17are specified, compares only those named paths. Otherwise all 18entries in the cache are compared.

Unlike git-diff-tree, git-diff-files always looks 35 at all the subdirectories. 36 37 38Output format 39------------- 40include::diff-format.txt[] 41 42 43Author 44------ 45Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 46 47Documentation 48-------------- 49Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 50 51GIT 52--- 53Part of the link:git.html[git] suite 54
