1-p:: 2 Generate patch (see section on generating patches) 3 4-u:: 5 Synonym for "-p". 6 7-r:: 8 Look recursively in subdirectories; this flag does not 9 mean anything to commands other than "git-diff-tree"; 10 other diff commands always look at all the subdirectories. 11 12-z:: 13 \0 line termination on output 14 15--name-only:: 16 Show only names of changed files. 17 18--name-status:: 19 Show only names and status of changed files. 20 21-B:: 22 Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create. 23 24-M:: 25 Detect renames. 26 27-C:: 28 Detect copies as well as renames. 29 30--find-copies-harder:: 31 By default, -C option finds copies only if the original 32 file of the copy was modified in the same changeset for 33 performance reasons. This flag makes the command 34 inspect unmodified files as candidates for the source of 35 copy. This is a very expensive operation for large 36 projects, so use it with caution. 37 38-l<num>:: 39 -M and -C options require O(n^2) processing time where n 40 in the number of potential rename/copy targets. This 41 option prevents rename/copy detection from running if 42 the number of rename/copy targets exceed the specified 43 number. 44 45-S<string>:: 46 Look for differences that contains the change in <string>. 47 48--pickaxe-all:: 49 When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that 50 changeset, not just the files that contains the change 51 in <string>. 52 53-O<orderfile>:: 54 Output the patch in the order specified in the 55 <orderfile>, which has one shell glob pattern per line. 56 57-R:: 58 Swap two inputs; that is, show differences from cache or 59 on-disk file to tree contents. 60 61For more detailed explanation on these common options, see also 62link:diffcore.html[diffcore documentation].
