7 git-diff-files - Compares files in the working tree and the cache
12 'git-diff-files' [-p] [-q] [-r] [-z] [-M] [-C] [-R] [<pattern>...]
16 Compares the files in the working tree and the cache. When paths
17 are specified, compares only those named paths. Otherwise all
18 entries in the cache are compared. The output format is the
19 same as "git-diff-cache" and "git-diff-tree".
24 generate patch (see section on generating patches).
27 Remain silent even on nonexisting files
30 Output diff in reverse.
33 Detect renames; implies -p.
36 Detect copies as well as renames; implies -p.
39 This flag does not mean anything. It is there only to match
40 git-diff-tree. Unlike git-diff-tree, git-diff-files always looks
41 at all the subdirectories.
