+
+NAME
+----
+git-diff-files - Compares files in the working tree and the cache
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-diff-files' [-p] [-q] [-r] [-z] [<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::
+       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.
+
+
+Output format
+-------------
+include::diff-format.txt[]
