+--inaccurate-eof::
        Under certain circumstances, some versions of diff do not correctly
        detect a missing new-line at the end of the file. As a result, patches
        created by such diff programs do not record incomplete lines
        correctly. This option adds support for applying such patches by
        working around this bug.
 
---verbose::

        Report progress to stderr. By default, only a message about the
        current patch being applied will be printed. This option will cause
        additional information to be reported.
