Synonym for `-p --raw`.

-include::diff-heuristic-options.txt[]
+--indent-heuristic::
+ Enable the heuristic that shift diff hunk boundaries to make patches
+ easier to read. This is the default.
+
+--no-indent-heuristic::
+ Disable the indent heuristic.
--minimal::
Spend extra time to make sure the smallest possible
--histogram::
Generate a diff using the "histogram diff" algorithm.
+--anchored=<text>::
+ Generate a diff using the "anchored diff" algorithm.
++
+This option may be specified more than once.
++
+If a line exists in both the source and destination, exists only once,
+and starts with this text, this algorithm attempts to prevent it from
+appearing as a deletion or addition in the output. It uses the "patience
+diff" algorithm internally.
+
--diff-algorithm={patience|minimal|histogram|myers}::
Choose a diff algorithm. The variants are as follows:
+
endif::git-diff[]
It is the same as `--color=never`.
+--color-moved[=<mode>]::
+ Moved lines of code are colored differently.
+ifdef::git-diff[]
+ It can be changed by the `diff.colorMoved` configuration setting.
+endif::git-diff[]
+ The <mode> defaults to 'no' if the option is not given
+ and to 'zebra' if the option with no mode is given.
+ The mode must be one of:
++
+--
+no::
+ Moved lines are not highlighted.
+default::
+ Is a synonym for `zebra`. This may change to a more sensible mode
+ in the future.
+plain::
+ Any line that is added in one location and was removed
+ in another location will be colored with 'color.diff.newMoved'.
+ Similarly 'color.diff.oldMoved' will be used for removed lines
+ that are added somewhere else in the diff. This mode picks up any
+ moved line, but it is not very useful in a review to determine
+ if a block of code was moved without permutation.
+zebra::
+ Blocks of moved text of at least 20 alphanumeric characters
+ are detected greedily. The detected blocks are
+ painted using either the 'color.diff.{old,new}Moved' color or
+ 'color.diff.{old,new}MovedAlternative'. The change between
+ the two colors indicates that a new block was detected.
+dimmed_zebra::
+ Similar to 'zebra', but additional dimming of uninteresting parts
+ of moved code is performed. The bordering lines of two adjacent
+ blocks are considered interesting, the rest is uninteresting.
+--
+
--word-diff[=<mode>]::
Show a word diff, using the <mode> to delimit changed words.
By default, words are delimited by whitespace; see
--text::
Treat all files as text.
+--ignore-cr-at-eol::
+ Ignore carrige-return at the end of line when doing a comparison.
+
--ignore-space-at-eol::
Ignore changes in whitespace at EOL.
