 NAME

-git-diff-files - Compares files in the working tree and the cache
+git-diff-files - Compares files in the working tree and the index
 
 
 SYNOPSIS
 --------
-'git-diff-files' [-p] [-q] [-r] [-z] [-R] [-B] [-M] [-C] [--find-copies-harder] [-O<orderfile>] [-S<string>] [--pickaxe-all] [<path>...]
+'git-diff-files' [-q] [-0|-1|-2|-3|-c|--cc] [<common diff options>] [<path>...]
 
 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-Compares the files in the working tree and the cache.  When paths
+Compares the files in the working tree and the index.  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".
+entries in the index are compared.  The output format is the
+same as "git-diff-index" and "git-diff-tree".
 
 OPTIONS
 -------
--p::
-       generate patch (see section on generating patches).
+include::diff-options.txt[]
+
+-1 -2 -3 or --base --ours --theirs, and -0::
+       Diff against the "base" version, "our branch" or "their
+       branch" respectively.  With these options, diffs for
+       merged entries are not shown.
++
+The default is to diff against our branch (-2) and the 
+cleanly resolved paths.  The option -0 can be given to
+omit diff output for unmerged entries and just show "Unmerged".
+
+-c,--cc::
+       This compares stage 2 (our branch), stage 3 (their
+       branch) and the working tree file and outputs a combined
+       diff, similar to the way 'diff-tree' shows a merge
+       commit with these flags.
 
 -q::
        Remain silent even on nonexisting files
 
--R::
-       Swap two inputs; that is, show differences from on-disk files
-       to cache contents.
-
--B::
-       Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create.
-
--M::
-       Detect renames.
-
--C::
-       Detect copies as well as renames.
-
---find-copies-harder::
-       By default, -C option finds copies only if the original
-       file of the copy was modified in the same changeset for
-       performance reasons.  This flag makes the command
-       inspect unmodified files as candidates for the source of
-       copy.  This is a very expensive operation for large
-       projects, so use it with caution.
-
--S<string>::
-       Look for differences that contains the change in <string>.
-
---pickaxe-all::
-       When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that
-       changeset, not just the files that contains the change
-       in <string>.
-
--O<orderfile>::
-       Output the patch in the order specified in the
-       <orderfile>, which has one shell glob pattern per line.
-
--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.
