[PATCH] Documentation: diff-filter=T only tests for symlink changes

[Anders Melchiorsen <mail@cup.kalibalik.dk>]

With the previous text, one could get the understanding that
diff-filter=T also tested for changes in the executable bit.

You are right that this should be a rare need.

I didn't mean to push for this feature. I just offered to implement
it, as I needed it myself and din't see other ways. A script will work
fine for me, I should have thought of that.

The documentation patch that I promised is here.


Thanks,
Anders.
