From a9e67c8ccc6958d09c575a3d4837a49d8a2ec7d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "jidanni@jidanni.org" Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2008 15:03:17 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/diff-options.txt: unify options Instead of listing short option (e.g. "-U") as a shorthand for its longer counterpart (e.g. "--unified="), list the synonyms together. It saves one indirection to find what the reader wants.
