-z::
- NUL-line termination on output. This affects the `--raw`
- output field terminator. Also output from commands such
- as `git-log` will be delimited with NUL between commits.
+ifdef::git-log[]
+ Separate the commits with NULs instead of with new newlines.
++
+Also, when `--raw` or `--numstat` has been given, do not munge
+pathnames and use NULs as output field terminators.
+endif::git-log[]
+ifndef::git-log[]
+ When `--raw`, `--numstat`, `--name-only` or `--name-status` has been
+ given, do not munge pathnames and use NULs as output field terminators.
+endif::git-log[]
++
+Without this option, each pathname output will have TAB, LF, double quotes,
+and backslash characters replaced with `\t`, `\n`, `\"`, and `\\`,
+respectively, and the pathname will be enclosed in double quotes if
+any of those replacements occurred.
--name-only::
Show only names of changed files.
Show only names and status of changed files. See the description
of the `--diff-filter` option on what the status letters mean.
---color::
+--submodule[=<format>]::
+ Chose the output format for submodule differences. <format> can be one of
+ 'short' and 'log'. 'short' just shows pairs of commit names, this format
+ is used when this option is not given. 'log' is the default value for this
+ option and lists the commits in that commit range like the 'summary'
+ option of linkgit:git-submodule[1] does.
+
+--color[=<when>]::
Show colored diff.
+ The value must be always (the default), never, or auto.
--no-color::
Turn off colored diff, even when the configuration file
gives the default to color output.
+ Same as `--color=never`.
--color-words[=<regex>]::
Show colored word diff, i.e., color words which have changed.
