You can specify this option more than once. Implies `--patch`.
Patch output can be suppressed using `--no-patch`.
Non-patch diff formats `--raw`, `--name-only`, `--name-status`,
and `--summary` are supported. Diff stat formats
(`--stat`, `--numstat`, `--shortstat`, `--dirstat`) are not
currently implemented.
The following non-patch diff formats are supported: `--raw`,
`--name-only`, `--name-status`, `--summary`, `--check`,
`--stat`, `--numstat`, and `--shortstat`.
The stat formats show range-scoped counts: only lines within
the tracked range are counted. `--dirstat` is not supported
with `-L`: it summarizes change as each directory's share of
the total churn, not as counts for the tracked lines. Use
`--numstat` for exact per-file counts within the range.

Patch formatting options such as `--word-diff`, `--color-moved`,
`--no-prefix`, and whitespace options (`-w`, `-b`) are supported,
as are pickaxe options (`-S`, `-G`) and `--diff-filter`.
as are pickaxe options (`-S`, `-G`) and `--diff-filter`. `-G` is
scoped to the tracked range; `-S` is still evaluated over the whole
file, so an `-S` query may select a commit for a change outside the
range.
