From dda2d79af2d2858b37bab7f6e088d0730c0959d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2005 12:52:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Clean up diff option descriptions. I got tired of maintaining almost duplicated descriptions in diff-* brothers, both in usage string and documentation.
