I would propose adding the following text to the manpage:
You can simply run this command again to replace the image with one
that's freshly built. Then use podman-image-prune(1) to clean up
old images. See podman-container-prune(1) if you need to clean up
containers that didn't shut down properly.
That's a tiny addition and it would have helped this Podman beginner a
great deal. I can prepare a formal patch if you agree, Simon.
