Opton -r (see gitlink:git-rev-list[1]) > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ spelling mistake (option) I think it makes more sense to make Porcelain including "git log" to always recurse in its diff operations (when diff output is asked for), in which case the example should simply lose the "-r" option. But that is a post-1.5.3 change. That's why I am planning to drop this patch for now.
