Subject: Output from git diff-tree (documentation)
Message-ID: <87hbwxaolw.fsf@krank.kagedal.org>

The "git diff-tree HEAD" command (with the default raw output) starts
by printing a hash, which seems to be the hash for the commit (HEAD in
this case).

I can't find any description of this in the documentation for
diff-tree.

The "output format" sectionis the generic diff-format.txt that
describes the format of the lines for the files that differ. Nothing
wrong with that, but it doesn't explain the initial line of diff-tree.

The documentation of the --stdin flag mentions some initial output,
but that is not relevant in this case.
