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:

git-diff-tree - Compares the content and mode of blobs found via two tree objects
|

SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-diff-tree' [-p] [-r] [-z] [--stdin] [-B] [-M] [-R] [-C] [-O<orderfile>] [-S<string>] [--pickaxe-all] [-m] [-s] [-v] [-t] <tree-ish> <tree-ish> [<pattern>]\*

|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Compares the content and mode of the blobs found via two tree objects.
|
|
|
|
Note that "git-diff-tree" can use the tree encapsulated in a commit object.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<tree-ish>::
|
|
The id of a tree object.
|
|
|
|
<pattern>::
|
|
If provided, the results are limited to a subset of files
|
|
matching one of these prefix strings.
|
|
ie file matches `/^<pattern1>|<pattern2>|.../`
|
|
Note that pattern does not provide any wildcard or regexp
|
|
features.
|
|
|
|
-p::
|
|
generate patch (see section on generating patches). For
|
|
git-diff-tree, this flag implies '-r' as well.
|
|
|
|
-B::
|
|
Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create.
|
|
|
|
-M::
|
|
Detect renames.
|
|
|
|
-C::
|
|
Detect copies as well as renames.
|
|
|
|
-R::
|
|
Output diff in reverse.
|
|
|
|
-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::
|
|
recurse
|
|
|
|
-t::
|
|
show tree entry itself as well as subtrees. Implies -r.
|
|
|
|
-z::
|
|
\0 line termination on output
|
|
|
|
--root::
|
|
When '--root' is specified the initial commit will be showed as a big
|
|
creation event. This is equivalent to a diff against the NULL tree.
|
|
|
|
--stdin::
|
|
When '--stdin' is specified, the command does not take
|
|
<tree-ish> arguments from the command line. Instead, it
|
|
reads either one <commit> or a pair of <tree-ish>
|
|
separated with a single space from its standard input.
|
|
+
|
|
When a single commit is given on one line of such input, it compares
|
|
the commit with its parents. The following flags further affects its
|
|
behaviour. This does not apply to the case where two <tree-ish>
|
|
separated with a single space are given.
|
|
|
|
-m::
|
|
By default, "git-diff-tree --stdin" does not show
|
|
differences for merge commits. With this flag, it shows
|
|
differences to that commit from all of its parents.
|
|
|
|
-s::
|
|
By default, "git-diff-tree --stdin" shows differences,
|
|
either in machine-readable form (without '-p') or in patch
|
|
form (with '-p'). This output can be supressed. It is
|
|
only useful with '-v' flag.
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
This flag causes "git-diff-tree --stdin" to also show
|
|
the commit message before the differences.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Limiting Output
|
|
---------------
|
|
If you're only interested in differences in a subset of files, for
|
|
example some architecture-specific files, you might do:
|
|
|
|
git-diff-tree -r <tree-ish> <tree-ish> arch/ia64 include/asm-ia64
|
|
|
|
and it will only show you what changed in those two directories.
|
|
|
|
Or if you are searching for what changed in just `kernel/sched.c`, just do
|
|
|
|
git-diff-tree -r <tree-ish> <tree-ish> kernel/sched.c
|
|
|
|
and it will ignore all differences to other files.
|
|
|
|
The pattern is always the prefix, and is matched exactly. There are no
|
|
wildcards. Even stricter, it has to match complete path comonent.
|
|
I.e. "foo" does not pick up `foobar.h`. "foo" does match `foo/bar.h`
|
|
so it can be used to name subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
An example of normal usage is:
|
|
|
|
torvalds@ppc970:~/git> git-diff-tree 5319e4......
|
|
*100664->100664 blob ac348b.......->a01513....... git-fsck-cache.c
|
|
|
|
which tells you that the last commit changed just one file (it's from
|
|
this one:
|
|
|
|
commit 3c6f7ca19ad4043e9e72fa94106f352897e651a8
|
|
tree 5319e4d609cdd282069cc4dce33c1db559539b03
|
|
parent b4e628ea30d5ab3606119d2ea5caeab141d38df7

|
|
|
|
Make "git-fsck-cache" print out all the root commits it finds.
|
|
|
|
Once I do the reference tracking, I'll also make it print out all the
|
|
HEAD commits it finds, which is even more interesting.
|
|
|
|
in case you care).
