It seems that I got an inappropriate impression from this kind of

The display for the changed file name contains only the desired addition.
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/Documentation/dev-tools/coccinelle.rst?id=4b9033a33494ec9154d63e706e9e47f7eb3fd59e

so far which can be better seen in the downloadable patch file.
