This cleans up the way calls are made into the diff core from diff-tree family and diff-helper. Earlier, these programs had "if (generating_patch)" sprinkled all over the place, but those ugliness are gone and handled uniformly from the diff core, even when not generating patch format. This also allowed diff-cache and diff-files to acquire -R (reverse) option to generate diff in reverse. Users of diff-tree can swap two trees easily so I did not add -R there. [ Linus' note: I'll add -R to "diff-tree" too, since a "commit diff" doesn't have another tree to switch around: the other tree is always the parent(s) of the commit ] Also -M<digits-as-mantissa> suggestion made by Linus has been implemented. Documentation updates are also included. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

NAME

|
|
git-diff-files - Compares files in the working tree and the cache
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-diff-files' [-p] [-q] [-r] [-z] [-M] [-R] [<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.
|
|
|
|
-M::
|
|
Detect renames; implies -p.
|
|
|
|
-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.
