 Compares the files in the working tree and the index.  When paths
 are specified, compares only those named paths.  Otherwise all
 entries in the index are compared.  The output format is the

+-1 -2 -3 or --base --ours --theirs, and -0::
+       Diff against the "base" version, "our branch" or "their
+       branch" respectively.  With these options, diffs for
+       merged entries are not shown.
++
+The default is to diff against our branch (-2) and the
+cleanly resolved paths.  The option -0 can be given to
+omit diff output for unmerged entries and just show "Unmerged".
+
+-c::
+--cc::
+       This compares stage 2 (our branch), stage 3 (their
+       branch) and the working tree file and outputs a combined
+       diff, similar to the way 'diff-tree' shows a merge
+       commit with these flags.
