the amount of pure code movements within a file. In other words,
rearranging lines in a file is not counted as much as other changes.
This is the default behavior when no parameter is given.
+`lines`;;
+ Compute the dirstat numbers by doing the regular line-based diff
+ analysis, and summing the removed/added line counts. (For binary
+ files, count 64-byte chunks instead, since binary files have no
+ natural concept of lines). This is a more expensive `--dirstat`
+ behavior than the `changes` behavior, but it does count rearranged
+ lines within a file as much as other changes. The resulting output
+ is consistent with what you get from the other `--*stat` options.
`files`;;
Compute the dirstat numbers by counting the number of files changed.
Each changed file counts equally in the dirstat analysis. This is
and accumulating child directory counts in the parent directories:
`files,10,cumulative`.
+diff.statGraphWidth::
+ Limit the width of the graph part in --stat output. If set, applies
+ to all commands generating --stat output except format-patch.
+
+diff.context::
+ Generate diffs with <n> lines of context instead of the default
+ of 3. This value is overridden by the -U option.
+
diff.external::
If this config variable is set, diff generation is not
performed using the internal diff machinery, but using the
A boolean to inhibit the standard behavior of printing a space
before each empty output line. Defaults to false.
+diff.submodule::
+ Specify the format in which differences in submodules are
+ shown. The "log" format lists the commits in the range like
+ linkgit:git-submodule[1] `summary` does. The "short" format
+ format just shows the names of the commits at the beginning
+ and end of the range. Defaults to short.
+
+diff.wordRegex::
+ A POSIX Extended Regular Expression used to determine what is a "word"
+ when performing word-by-word difference calculations. Character
+ sequences that match the regular expression are "words", all other
+ characters are *ignorable* whitespace.
+
diff.<driver>.command::
The custom diff driver command. See linkgit:gitattributes[5]
for details.
