When paths 17are specified, compares only those named paths. Otherwise all 18entries in the cache are compared. The output format is the 19same as "git-diff-cache" and "git-diff-tree". 20 21OPTIONS 22------- 23-p:: 24 generate patch (see section on generating patches). 25 26-q:: 27 Remain silent even on nonexisting files 28 29-R:: 30 Output diff in reverse. 31 32-M:: 33 Detect renames; implies -p. 34 35-C:: 36 Detect copies as well as renames; implies -p. 37 38-r:: 39 This flag does not mean anything.
