"git diff --diff-filter=r" and "git diff --diff-filter=R" have
totally opposite meanings.  I expect nothing to be shown if all your
changes are renames and you ask to exclude all the renamed filepairs
from the output with "--diff-filter=r".  In other words, this seems
to be working as intended.

Thanks.
