git-diff-files [-p] [-q] [-r] [-z] [<pattern>...]
Compares the files in the working tree and the cache. When paths
are specified, compares only those named paths. Otherwise all
entries in the cache are compared. The output format is the
same as git-diff-cache and git-diff-tree.

This flag does not mean anything. It is there only to match
git-diff-tree. Unlike git-diff-tree, git-diff-files always looks
at all the subdirectories.

This merges the file listing in the directory cache index with the
actual working directory list, and shows different combinations of the
two.
One or more of the options below may be used to determine the files
shown:
-c|--cached
Show cached files in the output (default)
-d|--deleted
Show deleted files in the output
-o|--others
Show other files in the output
-i|--ignored
Show ignored files in the output
Note the this also reverses any exclude list present.
-s|--stage
Show stage files in the output
-u|--unmerged
Show unmerged files in the output (forces --stage)
-z

-x|--exclude=<pattern>
Skips files matching pattern.
Note that pattern is a shell wildcard pattern.

exclude patterns are read from <file>; 1 per line.
Allows the use of the famous dontdiff file as follows to find
out about uncommitted files just as dontdiff is used with
the diff command:

For an unmerged path, instead of recording a single mode/SHA1 pair,
the dircache records up to three such pairs; one from tree O in stage
1, A in stage 2, and B in stage 3. This information can be used by
the user (or Cogito) to see what should eventually be recorded at the
path. (see read-cache for more information on state)
