The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy: - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on included files. - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional info. - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc. - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text. - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----) for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML block. - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists. - Fix linking to other GIT docs. - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.

NAME

|
|
git-diff-tree - Compares the content and mode of blobs found via two tree objects
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-diff-tree' [--stdin] [-m] [-s] [-v] [--pretty] [-t] [<common diff options>] <tree-ish> [<tree-ish>] [<path>...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Compares the content and mode of the blobs found via two tree objects.
|
|
|
|
If there is only one <tree-ish> given, the commit is compared with its parents
|
|
(see --stdin below).
|
|
|
|
Note that "git-diff-tree" can use the tree encapsulated in a commit object.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
include::diff-options.txt[]
|
|
|
|
<tree-ish>::
|
|
The id of a tree object.
|
|
|
|
<path>...::
|
|
If provided, the results are limited to a subset of files
|
|
matching one of these prefix strings.
|
|
ie file matches `/^<pattern1>|<pattern2>|.../`
|
|
Note that this parameter does not provide any wildcard or regexp
|
|
features.
|
|
|
|
-t::
|
|
show tree entry itself as well as subtrees. Implies -r.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
--pretty[=(raw|medium|short)]::
|
|
This is used to control "pretty printing" format of the
|
|
commit message. Without "=<style>", it defaults to
|
|
medium.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 a complete path component.
|
|
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-objects.c
|
|
|
|
which tells you that the last commit changed just one file (it's from
|
|
this one:
|
|
|
|

|
Make "git-fsck-objects" 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.
