   9 SYNOPSIS
  10 --------
  11 [verse]
  12 'git whatchanged' <option>...
  13
  14 DESCRIPTION
  15 -----------
  16 Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces.  The
  17 command internally invokes 'git rev-list' piped to
  18 'git diff-tree', and takes command line options for both of
  19 these commands.
  20
  21 This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.

  24 OPTIONS
  25 -------
  26 -p::
  27         Show textual diffs, instead of the git internal diff
  28         output format that is useful only to tell the changed
  29         paths and their nature of changes.
  30
  31 -<n>::
  32         Limit output to <n> commits.
  33
  34 <since>..<until>::
  35         Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom
  36         exclusive, top inclusive).
  37
  38 -r::
  39         Show git internal diff output, but for the whole tree,
  40         not just the top level.
  41
  42 -m::
  43         By default, differences for merge commits are not shown.
  44         With this flag, show differences to that commit from all
  45         of its parents.

  47 However, it is not very useful in general, although it
  48 *is* useful on a file-by-file basis.

  54 Examples
  55 --------
  56 `git whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi`::
  57
  58         Show as patches the commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed
  59         any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
  60
  61 `git whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk`::
  62
  63         Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'.
  64         The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named
  65         'gitk'
