Hi All,

As the subject line says, is there a way to hide/disable the diff on the copy module so it doesn’t expose the contents?

[vagrant@localhost test]$ ansible-playbook -D file_copy_test.yml
[WARNING]: Host file not found: /etc/ansible/hosts

[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available

PLAY [localhost] ***************************************************************

If you don't want the diff, leave out the -D option.
