Why?

I'd suggest you just type "git diff" (if you diff two trees) or "git show" 
(if you want to see just one commit) instead.

There is _no_ reason to use diff-tree, it's purely a historical command 
due to how the implementation was done (ie diffing two trees is a very 
different operation from diffing against the index when looked at from an 
implementation standpoint).
