Hi, diff-format.txt says this: An output line is formatted this way: (snip) That is, from the left to the right: (snip) . status, followed by optional "score" number. (snip) Status letters C and R are always followed by a score (denoting the percentage of similarity between the source and target of the move or copy), and are the only ones to be so. As I read this last paragraph, the following is not supposed to happen: $ git diff-tree 926b1ec63ee045503f609e88ca445b94c06bd5d7 --abbrev -r -C -B 926b1ec63ee045503f609e88ca445b94c06bd5d7 :100644 100644 81ac702... 7ab0cf4... M087 contrib/subtree/INSTALL It however makes sense that it happens, and it looks like a case of the documentation being outdated or confusing. Or am I interpreting it wrong?
