It used to be that diff-tree needed helper support to parse its raw output to generate diffs, but these days git-diff-* family produces the same output and the helper is not tied to diff-tree anymore. Drop "tree" from its name. This follows the "rename only" commit to adjust the contents of the files involved. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@ucw.cz>

git-diff-helper - Generates patch format output for git-diff-*
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-diff-helper' [-z] [-R]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Reads output from "git-diff-cache", "git-diff-tree" and "git-diff-files" and
|
|
generates patch format output.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-z::
|
|
\0 line termination on input
|
|
|
|
-R::
|
|
Output diff in reverse. This is useful for displaying output from
|
|
"git-diff-cache" which always compares tree with cache or working
|
|
file. E.g.
|
|
|
|
git-diff-cache <tree> | git-diff-helper -R file.c
|
|
|
|
would show a diff to bring the working file back to what is in the <tree>.
