-D, —irreversible-delete
Omit the preimage for deletes, i.e. print only the header but not the diff between the preimage and /dev/null.
The resulting patch is not meant to be applied with patch or git apply; this is solely for people who want to
just concentrate on reviewing the text after the change. In addition, the output obviously lack enough
information to apply such a patch in reverse, even manually, hence the name of the option.
