-LIMITING OUTPUT
----------------
-If you're only interested in differences in a subset of files, for
-example some architecture-specific files, you might do:
-
- git diff-tree -r <tree-ish> <tree-ish> arch/ia64 include/asm-ia64
-
-and it will only show you what changed in those two directories.
-
-Or if you are searching for what changed in just `kernel/sched.c`, just do
-
- git diff-tree -r <tree-ish> <tree-ish> kernel/sched.c
-
-and it will ignore all differences to other files.
-
-The pattern is always the prefix, and is matched exactly. There are no
-wildcards. Even stricter, it has to match a complete path component.
-I.e. "foo" does not pick up `foobar.h`. "foo" does match `foo/bar.h`
-so it can be used to name subdirectories.
-
-An example of normal usage is:
-
- torvalds@ppc970:~/git> git diff-tree --abbrev 5319e4
- :100664 100664 ac348b... a01513... git-fsck-objects.c
-
-which tells you that the last commit changed just one file (it's from
-this one:
