DESCRIPTION
-----------
The files to read patch from. '-' can be used to read
from the standard input.
---no-merge::
- The default mode of operation is the merge behaviour
- which is not implemented yet. This flag explicitly
- tells the program not to use the merge behaviour.
-
--stat::
Instead of applying the patch, output diffstat for the
input. Turns off "apply".
+--numstat::
+ Similar to \--stat, but shows number of added and
+ deleted lines in decimal notation and pathname without
+ abbreviation, to make it more machine friendly. Turns
+ off "apply".
+
--summary::
Instead of applying the patch, output a condensed
summary of information obtained from git diff extended
up-to-date, it is flagged as an error. This flag also
causes the index file to be updated.
---show-files::
- Show summary of files that are affected by the patch.
+--index-info::
+ Newer git-diff output has embedded 'index information'
+ for each blob to help identify the original version that
+ the patch applies to. When this flag is given, and if
+ the original version of the blob is available locally,
+ outputs information about them to the standard output.
+
+-z::
+ When showing the index information, do not munge paths,
+ but use NUL terminated machine readable format. Without
+ this flag, the pathnames output will have TAB, LF, and
+ backslash characters replaced with `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`,
+ respectively.
--apply::
