See linkgit:git-diff-files[1] for more options. + +-c:: + + With this option, diff output for a merge commit + shows the differences from each of the parents to the merge result + simultaneously instead of showing pairwise diff between a parent + and the result one at a time. Furthermore, it lists only files + which were modified from all parents. + +--cc:: + + This flag implies the '-c' options and further compresses the + patch output by omitting uninteresting hunks whose contents in + the parents have only two variants and the merge result picks + one of them without modification. + +-m:: + + This flag makes the merge commits show the full diff like + regular commits; for each merge parent, a separate log entry + and diff is generated. An exception is that only diff against + the first parent is shown when '--first-parent' option is given; + in that case, the output represents the changes the merge + brought _into_ the then-current branch. + +-r:: + + Show recursive diffs. + +-t:: + + Show the tree objects in the diff output. This implies '-r'. + +-s:: + Suppress diff output. +endif::git-rev-list[] |
