Message-ID: <20011027104214.A7633@rhadamanth> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, I'm going to spend this morning cleaning up a few manpages, etc. http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/submitting.html indicates that the best options to diff would just be a simple -c. However, this produces output that doesn't clearly show what has changed and looks nothing like most of the other diffs I have seen. Should I be using this option, or does it not really matter ? I'm probably only going to be patching one file at a time.
