"git show --ext-diff"? We end the Description section of the manual with "This manual page describes only the most frequently used options." without explicitly saying "Options from the underlying this and that commands can be given as well", which is rather suboptimal. The only existing hint there is one sentence before, "The command takes options applicable to the git diff-tree command...", but the reader needs to be both careful and vaguely familiar with the way the git command set is structured to take advantage of that hint. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
