These parameters can also be set individually with `--stat-width=<width>`,
`--stat-name-width=<name-width>` and `--stat-count=<count>`.
+--compact-summary::
+ Output a condensed summary of extended header information such
+ as file creations or deletions ("new" or "gone", optionally "+l"
+ if it's a symlink) and mode changes ("+x" or "-x" for adding
+ or removing executable bit respectively) in diffstat. The
+ information is put betwen the filename part and the graph
+ part. Implies `--stat`.
+
--numstat::
Similar to `--stat`, but shows number of added and
deleted lines in decimal notation and pathname without
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::
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
+ painted using either the 'color.diff.{old,new}Moved' color.
+ Adjacent blocks cannot be told apart.
+zebra::
+ Blocks of moved text are detected as in 'blocks' mode. The 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::
blocks are considered interesting, the rest is uninteresting.
--
+--color-moved-ws=<modes>::
+ This configures how white spaces are ignored when performing the
+ move detection for `--color-moved`.
+ifdef::git-diff[]
+ It can be set by the `diff.colorMovedWS` configuration setting.
+endif::git-diff[]
+ These modes can be given as a comma separated list:
++
+--
+ignore-space-at-eol::
+ Ignore changes in whitespace at EOL.
+ignore-space-change::
+ Ignore changes in amount of whitespace. This ignores whitespace
+ at line end, and considers all other sequences of one or
+ more whitespace characters to be equivalent.
+ignore-all-space::
+ Ignore whitespace when comparing lines. This ignores differences
+ even if one line has whitespace where the other line has none.
+allow-indentation-change::
+ Initially ignore any white spaces in the move detection, then
+ group the moved code blocks only into a block if the change in
+ whitespace is the same per line. This is incompatible with the
+ other modes.
+--
+
--word-diff[=<mode>]::
Show a word diff, using the <mode> to delimit changed words.
By default, words are delimited by whitespace; see
