BTW. what does "recursive diff" mean (in git)?

AFAIU it means that the diff code recurses into subdirectories.

When git-diff _doesn't_ recurse into subdirectories?

When it is not told to.

The Porcelainish commands (git-diff, git-show) default to
recursive, but low-level commands don't.

Compare these three:

	git diff --raw v1.4.3.1^^^..v1.4.3.1^^
	git diff-tree v1.4.3.1^^^..v1.4.3.1^^
	git diff-tree -r v1.4.3.1^^^..v1.4.3.1^^
