How can I instruct git diff NOT to batch together hunks that are near by?

Question

Essentially, I would like git diff to return the same hunks as returned when I chose to split the hunks in an interactive rebase.

The command I am using is:

git diff -U3 -r -M

And it can produce something like this:

@@ -70,10 +70,10 @@
   "GetAllDeptJobs2": "None",
   "GetAllDeptJobsSlim": "None",
   "GetAllDirectDeposits": "Payroll (*)",
-  "GetAllEmployeeBenPlanElectedOptions": "None",

   "GetAllEmployeeConfidentialIdentifications": "HR (*)",

   "GetAllEmployeeElectedBenefitBeneficiary": "None",
   "GetAllEmployeeElectedBenefitBeneficiaryAndDependentData": "None",
   "GetAllEmployeeElectedBenefitBeneficiarySL": "None",

The relevant portion of the respective file (after the change is applied) is:

  "GetAllDeptJobs2": "None",
  "GetAllDeptJobsSlim": "None",
  "GetAllDirectDeposits": "Payroll (*)",
  "GetAllEmployeeBenPlanElectedOptions": "Benefits (*)",

  "GetAllEmployeeElectedBenefitBeneficiary": "None",
  "GetAllEmployeeElectedBenefitBeneficiaryAndDependentData": "None",
  "GetAllEmployeeElectedBenefitBeneficiarySL": "None",

I would like to get a diff where these two hunks are split. I realize the trailing context of the first hunk overlaps with the delta of the second hunk, but so what? I would like to get the following two hunks instead:

I understand why git diff batched the two hunks, but is it still possible to get them separately and be able to apply the patch successfully?

Answer 1

git diff -U0 seems to work for me (-U1 doesn't).
