X-Git-Tag: v0.99~242 X-Git-Url: https://git.lorimer.id.au/gitweb.git/diff_plain/232b75ab3d60475b19270be022a966772c25c84b?hp=4727f640036fbdad414bdcbe31d08f6a8fd70923 [PATCH] Update diff documentation. This updates diff documentation to discuss --find-copies-harder, and adds descriptions for options that were not described earlier.
