Where is it documented? It is not "accept" but more like "absorb and ignore". We (ab)use the option parser from revision traversal machinery when parsing "git-diff" options, but obviously options such as max-count that relate to commit limiting do not have any meaning to "git-diff-files" or "git-diff". - 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
