There is a thing called --diff-filter, and 

	git diff -p --no-diff-deleted

is equivalent to

	git diff -p --diff-filter=AM

when you are not using rename/copy detection (and a byte
shorter).  Or maybe improve its syntax to also take:

	--diff-filter=-D

That is, a minus followed by list of undesired change class
letters.
