:I agree with (1), but (2) and (3) should be options. If you've
:keeping track of output in an xterm scroll buffer clearing the
:screen will lose some output. And sometimes an overview of the
:changes is good so you can tell whether it's worth going through
:them interactively or just accepting/denying them all.
(3) is easy, the 'v'iew diff again option would simply display
the whole thing. Only the initial view would be truncated.
(2) A solution would be to generate a screen's worth of empty lines
before clearing the screen so everything that was there before stays
in the scrollbackbuffer.
