OK, looks like you picked up the fix from the last round of discussion.
Good. Is this destined for 'maint'? My patch fixed the regression from
v2.51.1 with "--quiet", but I think there is still one for "-w --raw",
etc. And so our choices are:

  1. Take jc/diff-from-contents-fix to maint to fix that.

  2. Take ly/diff-name-only-with-diff-from-content to maint to fix that.

  3. Let that bug remain until those topics hit 'master'.

As I said earlier, I had at first thought that the bug there was just an
incomplete fix, but it really is a regression (extra garbled output).
I'm OK if we want to do (3), but there was so much discussion I want to
make sure that we're making the choice intentionally.


Also, (though maybe a bit late since it's in next): the comment in your
patch has some typos in it. But if I'm optimistic maybe we get rid of it
in the long run anyway. ;)
