   9SYNOPSIS
  10--------
  11'git whatchanged' <option>...
  12
  13DESCRIPTION
  14-----------
  15Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces.  The
  16command internally invokes 'git rev-list' piped to
  17'git diff-tree', and takes command line options for both of
  18these commands.

  20This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.

  23OPTIONS
  24-------
  25-p::
  26        Show textual diffs, instead of the git internal diff
  27        output format that is useful only to tell the changed
  28        paths and their nature of changes.
  29
  30-<n>::
  31        Limit output to <n> commits.
  32
  33<since>..<until>::
  34        Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom
  35        exclusive, top inclusive).
  36
  37-r::
  38        Show git internal diff output, but for the whole tree,
  39        not just the top level.
  40
  41-m::
  42        By default, differences for merge commits are not shown.
  43        With this flag, show differences to that commit from all
  44        of its parents.

  46However, it is not very useful in general, although it
  47*is* useful on a file-by-file basis.

  53Examples
  54--------
  55git whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi::
  56
  57        Show as patches the commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed
  58        any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
  59
  60git whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" \-- gitk::
  61
  62        Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'.
  63        The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named
  64        'gitk'
