--verbatim::
Calculate the patch-id of the input as it is given, do not strip
any whitespace.
-
- This is the default if patchid.verbatim is true.
++
+This is the default if patchid.verbatim is true.
--stable::
Use a "stable" sum of hashes as the patch ID. With this option:
- - Reordering file diffs that make up a patch does not affect the ID.
- In particular, two patches produced by comparing the same two trees
- with two different settings for "-O<orderfile>" result in the same
- patch ID signature, thereby allowing the computed result to be used
- as a key to index some meta-information about the change between
- the two trees;
-
- - Result is different from the value produced by git 1.9 and older
- or produced when an "unstable" hash (see --unstable below) is
- configured - even when used on a diff output taken without any use
- of "-O<orderfile>", thereby making existing databases storing such
- "unstable" or historical patch-ids unusable.
-
- - All whitespace within the patch is ignored and does not affect the id.
-
- This is the default if patchid.stable is set to true.

--unstable::
Use an "unstable" hash as the patch ID. With this option,
by git 1.9 and older and whitespace is ignored. Users with pre-existing
databases storing patch-ids produced by git 1.9 and older (who do not deal
with reordered patches) may want to use this option.
