Synonym for `-p --raw`.
endif::git-format-patch[]
+--minimal::
+ Spend extra time to make sure the smallest possible
+ diff is produced.
+
--patience::
Generate a diff using the "patience diff" algorithm.
---stat[=<width>[,<name-width>]]::
+--stat[=<width>[,<name-width>[,<count>]]]::
Generate a diffstat. You can override the default
output width for 80-column terminal by `--stat=<width>`.
The width of the filename part can be controlled by
giving another width to it separated by a comma.
+ By giving a third parameter `<count>`, you can limit the
+ output to the first `<count>` lines, followed by
+ `...` if there are more.
++
+These parameters can also be set individually with `--stat-width=<width>`,
+`--stat-name-width=<name-width>` and `--stat-count=<count>`.
--numstat::
Similar to `\--stat`, but shows number of added and
of lines, thereby fusing hunks that are close to each other.
ifndef::git-format-patch[]
+ifndef::git-log[]
--exit-code::
Make the program exit with codes similar to diff(1).
That is, it exits with 1 if there were differences and
--quiet::
Disable all output of the program. Implies `--exit-code`.
+endif::git-log[]
endif::git-format-patch[]
--ext-diff::
--no-ext-diff::
Disallow external diff drivers.
+--textconv::
+--no-textconv::
+ Allow (or disallow) external text conversion filters to be run
+ when comparing binary files. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for
+ details. Because textconv filters are typically a one-way
+ conversion, the resulting diff is suitable for human
+ consumption, but cannot be applied. For this reason, textconv
+ filters are enabled by default only for linkgit:git-diff[1] and
+ linkgit:git-log[1], but not for linkgit:git-format-patch[1] or
+ diff plumbing commands.
+
--ignore-submodules[=<when>]::
Ignore changes to submodules in the diff generation. <when> can be
either "none", "untracked", "dirty" or "all", which is the default
