This flag 31 explicitly tells the program not to use the merge 32 behaviour. 33 34--stat:: 35 Instead of applying the patch, output diffstat for the 36 input. 37 38--summary:: 39 Instead of applying the patch, output a condensed 40 summary of information obtained from git diff extended 41 headers, such as creations, renames and mode changes. 42 43--check:: 44 Instead of applying the patch, see if the patch is 45 applicable to the current work tree and/or the index 46 file and detects errors. 47 48--index:: 49 When --check is in effect, or when applying the patch 50 (which is the default when none of the options that 51 disables it is in effect), make sure the patch is 52 applicable to what the current index file records. If 53 the file to be patched in the work tree is not 54 up-to-date, it is flagged as an error. This flag also 55 causes the index file to be updated. 56 57--show-files:: 58 Show summary of files that are affected by the patch. 59 60 61Author 62------ 63Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 64 65Documentation 66-------------- 67Documentation by Junio C Hamano 68 69GIT 70--- 71Part of the link:git.html[git] suite 72
