DESCRIPTION
-----------
<path>...::
If provided, the results are limited to a subset of files
- matching one of these prefix strings.
- i.e., file matches `/^<pattern1>|<pattern2>|.../`
- Note that this parameter does not provide any wildcard or regexp
- features.
+ matching one of the provided pathspecs.
-r::
recurse into sub-trees
itself and the commit log message is not shown, just like in any other
"empty diff" case.
+--combined-all-paths::
+ This flag causes combined diffs (used for merge commits) to
+ list the name of the file from all parents. It thus only has
+ effect when -c or --cc are specified, and is likely only
+ useful if filename changes are detected (i.e. when either
+ rename or copy detection have been requested).
+
--always::
Show the commit itself and the commit log message even
if the diff itself is empty.

-Limiting Output
----------------
-If you're only interested in differences in a subset of files, for
-example some architecture-specific files, you might do:
-
- git diff-tree -r <tree-ish> <tree-ish> arch/ia64 include/asm-ia64
-
-and it will only show you what changed in those two directories.
-
-Or if you are searching for what changed in just `kernel/sched.c`, just do
-
- git diff-tree -r <tree-ish> <tree-ish> kernel/sched.c
-
-and it will ignore all differences to other files.
-
-The pattern is always the prefix, and is matched exactly. There are no
-wildcards. Even stricter, it has to match a complete path component.
-I.e. "foo" does not pick up `foobar.h`. "foo" does match `foo/bar.h`
-so it can be used to name subdirectories.
-
-An example of normal usage is:
-
- torvalds@ppc970:~/git> git diff-tree --abbrev 5319e4
- :100664 100664 ac348b... a01513... git-fsck-objects.c
-
-which tells you that the last commit changed just one file (it's from
-this one:

-Make "git-fsck-objects" print out all the root commits it finds.

-Once I do the reference tracking, I'll also make it print out all the
-HEAD commits it finds, which is even more interesting.
