| 13 | DESCRIPTION |
| 14 | ----------- |
| Lukas_Sandström | 5f3aa19 | 2005-11-11 02:12:27 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 15 | Compares the files in the working tree and the index. When paths |
| David Greaves | 2cf565c | 2005-05-10 22:32:30 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 16 | are specified, compares only those named paths. Otherwise all |
| Lukas_Sandström | 5f3aa19 | 2005-11-11 02:12:27 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 17 | entries in the index are compared. The output format is the |
| Thomas Rast | 0b444cd | 2010-01-10 00:33:00 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 18 | same as for 'git diff-index' and 'git diff-tree'. |

| Linus Torvalds | 10637b8 | 2005-11-29 21:06:10 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 28 | Diff against the "base" version, "our branch" or "their |

| 34 | omit diff output for unmerged entries and just show "Unmerged". |

| 39 | branch) and the working tree file and outputs a combined |
| 40 | diff, similar to the way 'diff-tree' shows a merge |
| 41 | commit with these flags. |
