object name of pre- and post-image blob on the "index"
line when generating a patch format output.
+--abbrev[=<n>]::
+ Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object
+ name in diff-raw format output and diff-tree header
+ lines, show only handful hexdigits prefix. This is
+ independent of --full-index option above, which controls

-B::
Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create.
-C::
Detect copies as well as renames.
+--diff-filter=[ACDMRTUXB*]::
+ Select only files that are Added (`A`), Copied (`C`),
+ Deleted (`D`), Modified (`M`), Renamed (`R`), have their
+ type (mode) changed (`T`), are Unmerged (`U`), are
+ Unknown (`X`), or have had their pairing Broken (`B`).
+ Any combination of the filter characters may be used.
+ When `*` (All-or-none) is added to the combination, all
+ paths are selected if there is any file that matches
+ other criteria in the comparison; if there is no file
+ that matches other criteria, nothing is selected.
