What would the bugfixes be (i.e. do you have any doubts about the implementation)? The change looks quite straightforward, to the point and bug-free to my eyes. I try to get to writing tests ASAP. As for the documentation, would the following section be sufficient in Documentation/diff-options.txt? -D:: --irreversible-delete:: Omit file contents when file has been deleted and only output the header. This is useful during diff review but should not be used in actual patches as these would be non-reversible due to the omitted file contents.
