            Bug ID: 218018
           Summary: BSD diff ignores original file mtime
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Keywords: needs-patch
          Severity: Affects Only Me

          Reporter: jbeich@FreeBSD.org
                CC: bapt@FreeBSD.org

Porter's Handbook encourages contributors to format patches via "make
makepatch" but with BSD diff there's an unnecessary noise due to timestamps
always shifting.
