My issue with "skipped" is that it's not clear what exactly is skipped. Move detection? Inclusion in the diff? Something else? That's why I tried to add the "excluded from move detection" to make it clear that the change is still shown to the user, just not handled by move detection and using the usual diff colors.

In your example above, what exactly is "omitted"? The complete hunk from the output or the special coloring? That's what confuses me and what might confuse a future reader of the documentation.

Regards Simon
