13 | -z:: |
14 | \0 line termination on output | |
15 | ||
16 | --name-only:: | |
17 | Show only names of changed files. | |

22 | --full-index:: |
23 | Instead of the first handful characters, show full | |
24 | object name of pre- and post-image blob on the "index" | |
25 | line when generating a patch format output. | |
26 | ||
913419fc | 27 | --abbrev[=<n>]:: |
47dd0d59 JH |
28 | Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object |
29 | name in diff-raw format output and diff-tree header | |
89438677 | 30 | lines, show only handful hexdigits prefix. This is |
913419fc JH |
31 | independent of --full-index option above, which controls |
32 | the diff-patch output format. Non default number of | |
33 | digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>. | |

35 | -B:: |
36 | Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create. | |
37 | ||
38 | -M:: | |
39 | Detect renames. | |
40 | ||
41 | -C:: | |
42 | Detect copies as well as renames. | |

44 | --diff-filter=[ACDMRTUXB*]:: |
45 | Select only files that are Added (`A`), Copied (`C`), | |
46 | Deleted (`D`), Modified (`M`), Renamed (`R`), have their | |
47 | type (mode) changed (`T`), are Unmerged (`U`), are | |
48 | Unknown (`X`), or have had their pairing Broken (`B`). | |
49 | Any combination of the filter characters may be used. | |
50 | When `*` (All-or-none) is added to the combination, all | |
51 | paths are selected if there is any file that matches | |
52 | other criteria in the comparison; if there is no file | |
53 | that matches other criteria, nothing is selected. | |

dda2d79a | 55 | --find-copies-harder:: |
f73ae1fc CM |
56 | For performance reasons, by default, -C option finds copies only |
57 | if the original file of the copy was modified in the same | |
58 | changeset. This flag makes the command | |
dda2d79a JH |
59 | inspect unmodified files as candidates for the source of |
60 | copy. This is a very expensive operation for large | |
61 | projects, so use it with caution. | |
62 | ||
8082d8d3 JH |
63 | -l<num>:: |
64 | -M and -C options require O(n^2) processing time where n | |
f73ae1fc | 65 | is the number of potential rename/copy targets. This |
8082d8d3 | 66 | option prevents rename/copy detection from running if |
f73ae1fc | 67 | the number of rename/copy targets exceeds the specified |
8082d8d3 JH |
68 | number. |
69 | ||
dda2d79a | 70 | -S<string>:: |
f73ae1fc | 71 | Look for differences that contain the change in <string>. |
dda2d79a JH |
72 | |
73 | --pickaxe-all:: | |
74 | When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that | |
f73ae1fc | 75 | changeset, not just the files that contain the change |
dda2d79a JH |
76 | in <string>. |
77 | ||
d01d8c67 PB |
78 | --pickaxe-regex:: |
79 | Make the <string> not a plain string but an extended POSIX | |
80 | regex to match. | |
81 | ||
dda2d79a JH |
82 | -O<orderfile>:: |
83 | Output the patch in the order specified in the | |
84 | <orderfile>, which has one shell glob pattern per line. | |
85 | ||
86 | -R:: | |
5f3aa197 | 87 | Swap two inputs; that is, show differences from index or |
dda2d79a JH |
88 | on-disk file to tree contents. |
