DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS
-------
--p::
- generate patch (see section on generating patches).
+include::diff-options.txt[]
-q::
Remain silent even on nonexisting files
--R::
- Swap two inputs; that is, show differences from on-disk files
- to cache contents.
-
--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.
-
--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::
- This flag does not mean anything. It is there only to match
- git-diff-tree. Unlike git-diff-tree, git-diff-files always looks
- at all the subdirectories.
