A colleague noticed that git diff --diff-filter=Dr behaved in an unexpected way. The expectation was that the command shows only deleted files, but not renamed ones. Turns out that Git's code is incorrect and turns on all diff-filter flags because the argument contains a lower-case letter. But since it starts with an upper-case letter, we should actually not turn all those flags on. While working on the fix, I realized that the documentation of the --diff-filter flag was not updated when intent-to-add files were no longer shown as modified by git diff, but as added.
