While resolving conflicted merge, it was not easy to compare the working tree file with unmerged index entries. This commit introduces new options -1/-2/-3 (with synonyms --base, --ours, and --theirs) to compare working tree files with specified stages. When none of these options are given, the command defaults to -2 if the index file is unmerged, otherwise it acts as before.

NAME

----
|
|
git-diff-files - Compares files in the working tree and the index
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-diff-files' [-q] [<common diff options>] [<path>...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Compares the files in the working tree and the index. When paths
|
|
are specified, compares only those named paths. Otherwise all
|
|
entries in the index are compared. The output format is the
|
|
same as "git-diff-index" and "git-diff-tree".
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
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) if there
|
|
is an unmerged path, and show diff for unmerged entries
|
|
otherwise. The option -0 can be given to force diff for
|
|
unmerged entries even when the index is unmerged.
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
|
Remain silent even on nonexisting files
