+DESCRIPTION

+Compares the content and mode of the blobs in two stages in an

+-------
+<stage1>,<stage2>::
+	The stage number to be compared.
+
+-p::
+	Generate patch (see section on generating patches)
+
+-r::
+	This flag does not mean anything.  It is there only to match
+	"git-diff-tree".  Unlike "git-diff-tree", "git-diff-stages"

+
+-B::
+	Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create.
+
+-M::
+	Detect renames.
+
+-C::
+	Detect copies as well as renames.
+
+--find-copies-harder::
+	By default, -C option finds copies only if the original
+	file of the copy was modified in the same changeset for
+	performance reasons.  This flag makes the command
+	inspect unmodified files as candidates for the source of
+	copy.  This is a very expensive operation for large
