A search of ^D through user-manual.txt yields nothing.

'git checkout' command switches to another branch (actually, because
nothing was specified on command line, it doesn't switch at all) and
prints a summary of modified files.

For description of 'D', look for '--name-status' option in man git-diff.
Maybe this what you are looking for.
