From: Junio C Hamano Date: Sun, 16 Oct 2005 06:49:27 +0000 (-0700) Subject: whatchanged: document -m option from git-diff-tree. X-Git-Tag: v0.99.8e~3^2 X-Git-Url: https://git.verplant.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;ds=sidebyside;h=15fad5f4d750da31fbc004e6dd4c78fc0f20aca4;hp=--cc;p=git.git whatchanged: document -m option from git-diff-tree. The documentation for git-whatchanged is meant to describe only the most frequently used options from git-diff-tree. Because "why doesn't it show merges" was asked more than once, we'd better describe '-m' option there.
