Junio C Hamano 4986662cbc diff: document what --name-only shows ... The "--name-only" option is about showing the name of each file in the post-image tree that got changed and nothing else (like "was it created?"). Unlike the "--name-status" option that tells how the change happened (e.g., renamed with similarity), it does not give anything else, like the name of the corresponding file in the old tree. For example, if you start from a clean checkout that has a file whose name is COPYING, here is what you would see: $ git mv COPYING RENAMING $ git diff -M --name-only HEAD RENAMING $ git diff -M --name-status HEAD R100 COPYING RENAMING Lack of the description of this fact has confused readers in the past. Even back when dda2d79a ([PATCH] Clean up diff option descriptions., 2005-07-13) documented "--name-only", "git diff" already supported the renames, so in a sense, from day one, this should have been documented more clearly but it wasn't. Belatedly clarify it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>		2024-05-17 11:03:08 -07:00
