Just a special case of the usual behavior: it selects the empty set of
files. Doesn't sound useful to me, but maybe someone writing a
front-end would want to be reassured that --diff-filter will still
work if the user unchecks all the boxes.
Of course, one can also just try it...
If you can find a way to format it nicely (using brackets?), then I
think it should be part of the documented syntax, yes.
