| git-diff-helper - Generates patch format output for git-diff-* |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git-diff-helper' [-z] [-R] [-M] [-C] |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Reads output from "git-diff-cache", "git-diff-tree" and "git-diff-files" and |
| generates patch format output. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| -z:: |
| \0 line termination on input |
| |
| -R:: |
| Output diff in reverse. This is useful for displaying output from |
| "git-diff-cache" which always compares tree with cache or working |
| file. E.g. |
| |
| git-diff-cache <tree> | git-diff-helper -R file.c |
| |
| would show a diff to bring the working file back to what |
| is in the <tree>. |
| |
| -M:: |
| Detect renames. |
| |
| -C:: |
| Detect copies as well as renames. |
