[PATCH] diff options documentation: refer to --diff-filter in --name-status

From: Miklos Vajna <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:44:31
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

git diff --name-status outputs letters, but the meaning of those letters
is documented elsewhere. Add a note to make the manpage more intuitive.
