### Ignoring changes to specific files
Many large files in the repo are autogenerated. To view a diff that ignores changes to those files,
you can use the following syntax (e.g. Cargo.lock):
```
git log -p ':!Cargo.lock'
```
Arbitrary patterns are supported (e.g. `:!compiler/*`). Patterns use the same syntax as
`.gitignore`, with `:` prepended to indicate a pattern.
