+NAME
+----
+git-whatchanged - Show logs with difference each commit introduces
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git whatchanged' <option>...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces. The
+command internally invokes 'git rev-list' piped to
+'git diff-tree', and takes command line options for both of
+these commands.
+
+This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-p::
+ Show textual diffs, instead of the git internal diff
+ output format that is useful only to tell the changed
+ paths and their nature of changes.
+
+-<n>::
+ Limit output to <n> commits.
+
+<since>..<until>::
+ Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom
+ exclusive, top inclusive).
+
+-r::
+ Show git internal diff output, but for the whole tree,
+ not just the top level.
+
+-m::
+ By default, differences for merge commits are not shown.
+ With this flag, show differences to that commit from all
+ of its parents.
++
+However, it is not very useful in general, although it
+*is* useful on a file-by-file basis.

+
+Examples
+--------
+git whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi::
+
+ Show as patches the commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed
+ any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
+
+git whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" \-- gitk::
+
+ Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'.
+ The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named
+ 'gitk'
