Re: confusion with git diff-tree output

You're right.  I figured I must be overlooking something obvious, and
that was it.  What surprised me was that -p implies -r, which is not
documented.  Since the -p output was recursive, I incorrectly presumed
that this was the default.

By default git diff-tree doesn't recurse, but you can use -r for that.
Which is documented, I might add. ;)
