Junio C Hamano af5323e027 [PATCH] Add -O<orderfile> option to diff-* brothers.
A new diffcore filter diffcore-order is introduced.  This takes
a text file each of whose line is a shell glob pattern.  Patches
that match a glob pattern on an earlier line in the file are
output before patches that match a later line, and patches that
do not match any glob pattern are output last.

A typical orderfile for git project probably should look like
this:

    README
    Makefile
    Documentation
    *.h
    *.c

NAME
----
git-diff-files - Compares files in the working tree and the cache
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-diff-files' [-p] [-q] [-r] [-z] [-B] [-M] [-C] [-R] [-O<orderfile>] [-S<string>] [--pickaxe-all] [<pattern>...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
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".
OPTIONS
-------
-p::
generate patch (see section on generating patches).
-q::
Remain silent even on nonexisting files
-R::
Output diff in reverse.
-B::
Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create.
-M::
Detect renames.
-C::
Detect copies as well as renames.
-S<string>::
Look for differences that contains the change in <string>.
--pickaxe-all::
When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that
changeset, not just the files that contains the change
in <string>.
-O<orderfile>::
Output the patch in the order specified in the
<orderfile>, which has one shell glob pattern per line.
-r::
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.
Output format
-------------
include::diff-format.txt[]
