16 | --full-index:: |
17 | Instead of the first handful characters, show full | |
18 | object name of pre- and post-image blob on the "index" | |
19 | line when generating a patch format output. | |

47dd0d59 JH |
22 | Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object |
23 | name in diff-raw format output and diff-tree header | |
913419fc JH |
24 | lines, show only handful dhexigits prefix. This is |
25 | independent of --full-index option above, which controls | |
26 | the diff-patch output format. Non default number of | |
27 | digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>. | |

29 | -B:: |
30 | Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create. | |

32 | -M:: | |
33 | Detect renames. | |
34 | ||
35 | -C:: | |
36 | Detect copies as well as renames. | |

38 | --find-copies-harder:: | |
f73ae1fc CM |
39 | For performance reasons, by default, -C option finds copies only |
40 | if the original file of the copy was modified in the same | |
41 | changeset. This flag makes the command | |
dda2d79a JH |
42 | inspect unmodified files as candidates for the source of |
43 | copy. This is a very expensive operation for large | |
44 | projects, so use it with caution. | |

46 | -l<num>:: |
47 | -M and -C options require O(n^2) processing time where n | |
f73ae1fc | 48 | is the number of potential rename/copy targets. This |
8082d8d3 | 49 | option prevents rename/copy detection from running if |
f73ae1fc | 50 | the number of rename/copy targets exceeds the specified |
8082d8d3 JH |
51 | number. |
52 | ||
dda2d79a | 53 | -S<string>:: |
f73ae1fc | 54 | Look for differences that contain the change in <string>. |
dda2d79a JH |
55 | |
56 | --pickaxe-all:: | |
57 | When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that | |
f73ae1fc | 58 | changeset, not just the files that contain the change |
dda2d79a JH |
59 | in <string>. |
60 | ||
61 | -O<orderfile>:: | |
62 | Output the patch in the order specified in the | |
63 | <orderfile>, which has one shell glob pattern per line. | |
64 | ||
65 | -R:: | |
5f3aa197 | 66 | Swap two inputs; that is, show differences from index or |
dda2d79a JH |
67 | on-disk file to tree contents. |
