the diff-patch output format. Non default number of
digits can be specified with `--abbrev=<n>`.
--B::
+-B[<n>][/<m>]::
+ --break-rewrites[=[<n>][/<m>]]::
- Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create.
-
--M::
+ Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and
+ create. This serves two purposes:
++
+It affects the way a change that amounts to a total rewrite of a file
+not as a series of deletion and insertion mixed together with a very
+few lines that happen to match textually as the context, but as a
+single deletion of everything old followed by a single insertion of
+everything new, and the number `m` controls this aspect of the -B
+option (defaults to 60%). `-B/70%` specifies that less than 30% of the
+original should remain in the result for git to consider it a total
+rewrite (i.e. otherwise the resulting patch will be a series of
+deletion and insertion mixed together with context lines).
++
+When used with -M, a totally-rewritten file is also considered as the
+source of a rename (usually -M only considers a file that disappeared
+as the source of a rename), and the number `n` controls this aspect of
+the -B option (defaults to 50%). `-B20%` specifies that a change with
+addition and deletion compared to 20% or more of the file's size are
+eligible for being picked up as a possible source of a rename to
+another file.
+
+-M[<n>]::
+ --detect-renames[=<n>]::
ifndef::git-log[]
Detect renames.
endif::git-log[]
For following files across renames while traversing history, see
`--follow`.
endif::git-log[]
+ If `n` is specified, it is a is a threshold on the similarity
+ index (i.e. amount of addition/deletions compared to the
+ file's size). For example, `-M90%` means git should consider a
+ delete/add pair to be a rename if more than 90% of the file
+ hasn't changed.
--C::
+-C[<n>]::
+ --detect-copies[=<n>]::
Detect copies as well as renames. See also `--find-copies-harder`.
+ If `n` is specified, it has the same meaning as for `-M<n>`.
ifndef::git-format-patch[]
---diff-filter=[ACDMRTUXB*]::
+--diff-filter=[(A|C|D|M|R|T|U|X|B)...[*]]::
Select only files that are Added (`A`), Copied (`C`),
Deleted (`D`), Modified (`M`), Renamed (`R`), have their
type (i.e. regular file, symlink, submodule, ...) changed (`T`),
