what is the value of "-r" in "git whatchanged"?

  ok, another puzzler for me -- what is the point of the "-r" option
with "git whatchanged"?  according to the man page:

"Show git internal diff output, but for the whole tree, not just the
top level."

  in other words, it would seem to suggest "recursive".  but i've run
that command on a directory and compared the outputs, and i don't
notice any difference:

$ git whatchanged include | wc -l
318439
$ git whatchanged -r include | wc -l
318439

  can someone give me a trivial example where "-r" makes a difference
in the output so i can see what it's supposed to represent?  thanks.
