Show a diff inside of git log

If you've ever needed to view all the changes that are happening in a repository or a branch, there are two flags for the git log command that should interest you: git log -c and git log --cc.

Using git log -c shows you a diff view of changes made in each commit referenced in the log. If you're viewing a single branch, you can view the line-level changes, commit by commit, that went into getting the current branch to where it is. Very handy!

The --cc flag does the same thing, but it hides some automatic merge changes. I haven't seen very much difference in the behavior of these two flags myself.
