913419fc JH |
67 | independent of --full-index option above, which controls |
68 | the diff-patch output format. Non default number of | |
69 | digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>. | |

80 | --diff-filter=[ACDMRTUXB*]:: |
81 | Select only files that are Added (`A`), Copied (`C`), | |
82 | Deleted (`D`), Modified (`M`), Renamed (`R`), have their | |
83 | type (mode) changed (`T`), are Unmerged (`U`), are | |
84 | Unknown (`X`), or have had their pairing Broken (`B`). | |
85 | Any combination of the filter characters may be used. | |
86 | When `*` (All-or-none) is added to the combination, all | |
87 | paths are selected if there is any file that matches | |
88 | other criteria in the comparison; if there is no file | |
89 | that matches other criteria, nothing is selected. | |
90 | ||
dda2d79a | 91 | --find-copies-harder:: |
f73ae1fc CM |
92 | For performance reasons, by default, -C option finds copies only |
93 | if the original file of the copy was modified in the same | |
94 | changeset. This flag makes the command | |
dda2d79a JH |
95 | inspect unmodified files as candidates for the source of |
96 | copy. This is a very expensive operation for large | |
97 | projects, so use it with caution. | |
98 | ||
8082d8d3 JH |
99 | -l<num>:: |
100 | -M and -C options require O(n^2) processing time where n | |
f73ae1fc | 101 | is the number of potential rename/copy targets. This |
8082d8d3 | 102 | option prevents rename/copy detection from running if |
f73ae1fc | 103 | the number of rename/copy targets exceeds the specified |
8082d8d3 JH |
104 | number. |
105 | ||
dda2d79a | 106 | -S<string>:: |
f73ae1fc | 107 | Look for differences that contain the change in <string>. |
dda2d79a JH |
108 | |
109 | --pickaxe-all:: | |
110 | When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that | |
f73ae1fc | 111 | changeset, not just the files that contain the change |
dda2d79a JH |
112 | in <string>. |
113 | ||
d01d8c67 PB |
114 | --pickaxe-regex:: |
115 | Make the <string> not a plain string but an extended POSIX | |
116 | regex to match. | |
117 | ||
dda2d79a JH |
118 | -O<orderfile>:: |
119 | Output the patch in the order specified in the | |
120 | <orderfile>, which has one shell glob pattern per line. | |
121 | ||
122 | -R:: | |
5f3aa197 | 123 | Swap two inputs; that is, show differences from index or |
dda2d79a JH |
124 | on-disk file to tree contents. |
125 | ||
d507bb15 SF |
126 | --text:: |
127 | Treat all files as text. | |
128 | ||
129 | -a:: | |
130 | Shorthand for "--text". | |
131 | ||
8ebe185b JN |
132 | --ignore-space-change:: |
133 | Ignore changes in amount of white space. This ignores white | |
134 | space at line end, and consider all other sequences of one or | |
135 | more white space characters to be equivalent. | |
136 | ||
137 | -b:: | |
138 | Shorthand for "--ignore-space-change". | |
139 | ||
140 | --ignore-all-space:: | |
141 | Ignore white space when comparing lines. This ignores | |
142 | difference even if one line has white space where the other | |
143 | line has none. | |
144 | ||
145 | -w:: | |
146 | Shorthand for "--ignore-all-space". | |
