Hi,

While doing some diffing work today I found a small issue combining a filtering and formatting flag. Let me know if anything is missing in this email, this is my first time reporting a bug here.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) I'm using "git diff --name-only" to analyse the difference between the current branch and a target branch. Then I wanted to expand the preciseness, I don't actually care about spacing differences at the end of lines, for which I use the "--ignore-space-at-eol" flag. The problem comes in when combining the two flags: when I do "git diff --name-only --ignore-space-at-eol" the names of the files where only space changes at EOL are happening still appear.

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) I expect the two flags "--name-only" and "--ignore-space-at-eol" to work together such that files not matching the latter filter are not shown in the output.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior) The files that the "--ignore-space-at-eol" flag is supposed to filter are still shown when "--name-only" is used.

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? Filenames being resulted that do not match the filters added by flags.

Best regards,
Bob
