<p>
First, build a history graph in the same way that
<em>--full-history</em> with parent rewriting does (see above).
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Then simplify each commit ‘C` to its replacement <tt>C’</tt> in the final

Replace each parent ‘P` of <tt>C’</tt> with its simplification ‘P’`. In
the process, drop parents that are ancestors of other parents, and
remove duplicates.

<li>

If after this parent rewriting, ‘C’` is a root or merge commit (has
zero or >1 parents), a boundary commit, or !TREESAME, it remains.

that "what does <tt>M</tt> have that did not exist in <tt>D</tt>". The result in this

<p>
Show the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object name. This negates

<p>
The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message

<p>
Show the notes (see <a href="git-notes.html">git-notes(1)</a>) that annotate the

With this option, diff output for a merge commit

which were modified from all parents.
</p>
</dd>

--cc

<dd>

This flag implies the <em>-c</em> options and further compresses the

the parents have only two variants and the merge result picks
one of them without modification.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
-m

<dd>
<p>
This flag makes the merge commits show the full diff like
regular commits; for each merge parent, a separate log entry

the first parent is shown when <em>--first-parent</em> option is given;
in that case, the output represents the changes the merge

The width of the filename part can be controlled by
giving another width to it separated by a comma.

Output the distribution of relative amount of changes for each

passing it a comma separated list of parameters.
The defaults are controlled by the <tt>diff.dirstat</tt> configuration

<div class="openblock">
<div class="content">
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<tt>changes</tt>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Compute the dirstat numbers by counting the lines that have been
removed from the source, or added to the destination. This ignores
the amount of pure code movements within a file. In other words,
rearranging lines in a file is not counted as much as other changes.
This is the default behavior when no parameter is given.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<tt>lines</tt>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Compute the dirstat numbers by doing the regular line-based diff
analysis, and summing the removed/added line counts. (For binary
files, count 64-byte chunks instead, since binary files have no
natural concept of lines). This is a more expensive <tt>--dirstat</tt>
behavior than the <tt>changes</tt> behavior, but it does count rearranged
lines within a file as much as other changes. The resulting output
is consistent with what you get from the other <tt>--*stat</tt> options.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<tt>files</tt>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Compute the dirstat numbers by counting the number of files changed.
Each changed file counts equally in the dirstat analysis. This is
the computationally cheapest <tt>--dirstat</tt> behavior, since it does
not have to look at the file contents at all.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<tt>cumulative</tt>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Count changes in a child directory for the parent directory as well.
Note that when using <tt>cumulative</tt>, the sum of the percentages

Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and

<div class="paragraph"><p>It affects the way a change that amounts to a total rewrite of a file
not as a series of deletion and insertion mixed together with a very
few lines that happen to match textually as the context, but as a
single deletion of everything old followed by a single insertion of
everything new, and the number <tt>m</tt> controls this aspect of the -B
option (defaults to 60%). <tt>-B/70%</tt> specifies that less than 30% of the
original should remain in the result for git to consider it a total
rewrite (i.e. otherwise the resulting patch will be a series of
deletion and insertion mixed together with context lines).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When used with -M, a totally-rewritten file is also considered as the
source of a rename (usually -M only considers a file that disappeared
as the source of a rename), and the number <tt>n</tt> controls this aspect of

<p>
If generating diffs, detect and report renames for each commit.
For following files across renames while traversing history, see
<tt>--follow</tt>.
If <tt>n</tt> is specified, it is a threshold on the similarity
index (i.e. amount of addition/deletions compared to the
file’s size). For example, <tt>-M90%</tt> means git should consider a
delete/add pair to be a rename if more than 90% of the file

<p>
For performance reasons, by default, <tt>-C</tt> option finds copies only

<p>
Omit the preimage for deletes, i.e. print only the header but not
the diff between the preimage and <tt>/dev/null</tt>. The resulting patch
is not meant to be applied with <tt>patch</tt> nor <tt>git apply</tt>; this is
solely for people who want to just concentrate on reviewing the

enough information to apply such a patch in reverse, even manually,

It is preceded with a "git diff" header, that looks like
this (when <em>-c</em> option is used):
</p>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><tt>diff --combined file</tt></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>or like this (when <em>--cc</em> option is used):</p></div>

It is followed by one or more extended header lines

mode <mode>,<mode>..<mode>
new file mode <mode>
deleted file mode <mode>,<mode></tt></pre>

<div class="paragraph"><p>The <tt>mode <mode>,<mode>..<mode></tt> line appears only if at least one of
the <mode> is different from the rest. Extended headers with
information about detected contents movement (renames and
copying detection) are designed to work with diff of two
<tree-ish> and are not used by combined diff format.</p></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>
It is followed by two-line from-file/to-file header
</p>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><tt>--- a/file
+++ b/file</tt></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Similar to two-line header for traditional <em>unified</em> diff
format, <tt>/dev/null</tt> is used to signal created or deleted
files.</p></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Chunk header format is modified to prevent people from
accidentally feeding it to <tt>patch -p1</tt>. Combined diff format
was created for review of merge commit changes, and was not
meant for apply. The change is similar to the change in the
extended <em>index</em> header:
</p>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><tt>@@@ <from-file-range> <from-file-range> <to-file-range> @@@</tt></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>There are (number of parents + 1) <tt>@</tt> characters in the chunk
header for combined diff format.</p></div>
</li>
</ol></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Unlike the traditional <em>unified</em> diff format, which shows two
files A and B with a single column that has <tt>-</tt> (minus — appears in A but removed in B), <tt>+</tt> (plus — missing in A but
added to B), or <tt>" "</tt> (space — unchanged) prefix, this format
compares two or more files file1, file2,… with one file X, and
shows how X differs from each of fileN. One column for each of
fileN is prepended to the output line to note how X’s line is
different from it.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>A <tt>-</tt> character in the column N means that the line appears in
fileN but it does not appear in the result. A <tt>+</tt> character
in the column N means that the line appears in the result,
and fileN does not have that line (in other words, the line was
added, from the point of view of that parent).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In the above example output, the function signature was changed
from both files (hence two <tt>-</tt> removals from both file1 and
file2, plus <tt>++</tt> to mean one line that was added does not appear
in either file1 nor file2). Also eight other lines are the same
from file1 but do not appear in file2 (hence prefixed with <tt>+</tt>).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When shown by <tt>git diff-tree -c</tt>, it compares the parents of a
merge commit with the merge result (i.e. file1..fileN are the
parents). When shown by <tt>git diff-files -c</tt>, it compares the
two unresolved merge parents with the working tree file
(i.e. file1 is stage 2 aka "our version", file2 is stage 3 aka
"their version").</p></div>

The pathnames recorded in the index and in the tree objects
are treated as uninterpreted sequences of non-NUL bytes.
What readdir(2) returns are what are recorded and compared

to be what lstat(2) and creat(2) accepts. There is no such

<div class="paragraph"><p>Although we encourage that the commit log messages are encoded

<em>git commit</em> and <em>git commit-tree</em> issues
a warning if the commit log message given to it does not look

have i18n.commitencoding in <tt>.git/config</tt> file, like this:
