Subject: [PATCH 4/5] Documentation: move description of -s, --no-patch to diff-options.txt
Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:07:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1373893639-13413-5-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1373893639-13413-1-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr>

Technically, "-s, --no-patch" is implemented in diff.c ("git diff
--no-patch" is essentially useless, but valid). From the user point of
view, this allows the documentation to show up in "git show --help",
which is one of the most useful use of the option.

While we're there, add a sentence explaining why the option can be
useful.

It might make sense to surround this with ifndef::git-diff[], but
since "git diff --no-patch" actually works, I've left it
unconditional to be technically correct.
