On a closer look, the manual page of git show does lists all the "diff" options by including diff-options.txt. The options omitted are revision parsing related. Perhaps we remove the line > The command takes options applicable to the git diff-tree command to > control how the changes the commit introduces are shown. And rephrase the line > This manual page describes only the most frequently used options. to > This manual page describes only the most frequently used options. > Some options that `git rev-list` command understands can be used to > control how commits are shown.
