This is already documented by referencing git-diff-tree a few lines above:

	The command takes options applicable to the git-diff-tree[1]
	command to control how the changes the commit introduces are
	shown.
The man page of git-diff-tree talks about -p, and a lot more options.

Side note: -p is the default for git-show (of commits). Nevertheless, it makes sense to specify it in combination with other options:

	git show -p --stat
will show both the patch and the statistics.
