https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=243974 --- Comment #1 from fehmi noyan isi <fnoyanisi@yahoo.com> --- duplicate of https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241714 The resolution mentioned in the above bug report is to pass the argument following --tabsize after an equal sign, e,g, --tabsize=NUMBER as opposed to --tabsize NUMBER. In diff.c, the argument to tabsize is classified as "optional_argument" whereas it should be "required_argument". We either should; - update the man page and indicate the argument following --tabsize is optional - make the argument to --tabsize required. I am more keen to go with the second option (i.e. making the argument mandatory for the --tabsize). It does not make much sense to use only --tabsize -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
