The output of git-diff includes lines beginning with "+" and "-" to indicate 
added and deleted lines.  A somewhat common task (at least for me) is to want 
to copy output from a "diff" (usually the deleted lines) and paste it back into 
my code.

This is quite inconvenient because of the leading "+" and "-" characters.  I 
know there are shell and IDE / editor workarounds but it would be nice if there 
was a switch to git-diff to make it leave out those characters, especially 
since "--color" kind of makes those leading characters obsolete.

Would it make sense to develop such a switch or has there been work on that 
already?
