DESCRIPTION
-----------
<tree-ish>::
The id of a tree object.
-<pattern>::
+<path>...::
If provided, the results are limited to a subset of files
matching one of these prefix strings.
ie file matches `/^<pattern1>|<pattern2>|.../`
- Note that pattern does not provide any wildcard or regexp
+ Note that this parameter does not provide any wildcard or regexp
features.
-p::
generate patch (see section on generating patches). For
git-diff-tree, this flag implies '-r' as well.
+-B::
+ Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create.
+
-M::
Detect renames.
-C::
Detect copies as well as renames.
+--find-copies-harder::
+ By default, -C option finds copies only if the original
+ file of the copy was modified in the same changeset for
+ performance reasons. This flag makes the command
+ inspect unmodified files as candidates for the source of
+ copy. This is a very expensive operation for large
+ projects, so use it with caution.
+
-R::
- Output diff in reverse.
+ Swap two input trees.
-S<string>::
Look for differences that contains the change in <string>.
+--pickaxe-all::
+ When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that
+ changeset, not just the files that contains the change
+ in <string>.
+
+-O<orderfile>::
+ Output the patch in the order specified in the
+ <orderfile>, which has one shell glob pattern per line.
+
-r::
recurse
-z::
\0 line termination on output
+--root::
+ When '--root' is specified the initial commit will be showed as a big
+ creation event. This is equivalent to a diff against the NULL tree.
+
--stdin::
When '--stdin' is specified, the command does not take
<tree-ish> arguments from the command line. Instead, it
This flag causes "git-diff-tree --stdin" to also show
the commit message before the differences.
+--pretty[=(raw|medium|short)]::
+ This is used to control "pretty printing" format of the
+ commit message. Without "=<style>", it defaults to
+ medium.
