--patch-with-raw::
Synonym for "-p --raw".
+--patience::
+ Generate a diff using the "patience diff" algorithm.
+
--stat[=width[,name-width]]::
Generate a diffstat. You can override the default
output width for 80-column terminal by "--stat=width".
Turn off colored diff, even when the configuration file
gives the default to color output.
---color-words::
- Show colored word diff, i.e. color words which have changed.
+--color-words[=<regex>]::
+ Show colored word diff, i.e., color words which have changed.
+ By default, words are separated by whitespace.
++
+When a <regex> is specified, every non-overlapping match of the
+<regex> is considered a word. Anything between these matches is
+considered whitespace and ignored(!) for the purposes of finding
+differences. You may want to append `|[^[:space:]]` to your regular
+expression to make sure that it matches all non-whitespace characters.
+A match that contains a newline is silently truncated(!) at the
+newline.
++
+The regex can also be set via a diff driver or configuration option, see
+linkgit:gitattributes[1] or linkgit:git-config[1]. Giving it explicitly
+overrides any diff driver or configuration setting. Diff drivers
+override configuration settings.
--no-renames::
Turn off rename detection, even when the configuration
number.
-S<string>::
- Look for differences that contain the change in <string>.
+ Look for differences that introduce or remove an instance of
+ <string>. Note that this is different than the string simply
+ appearing in diff output; see the 'pickaxe' entry in
+ linkgit:gitdiffcore[7] for more details.
--pickaxe-all::
When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that
