Hi,

regarding git diff --help:

 --diff-filter=[ACDMRTUXB*]
        Select only files that are Added (A), Copied (C), Deleted (D),
        Modified (M), Renamed (R), have their type (mode) changed (T),
        are Unmerged (U), are Unknown (X), or have had their pairing

and git diff reports mode changes...

CU, Alf
