a patch to add a comment for FreeBSD diff in "diff" option in viewvc.conf.d=
ist
file

Revision diff view on Side-By-Side style or Full Colored diff style on View=
VC
depends on GNU diff. If "diff" option in [general] section in viewvc.conf is
not specified on FreeBSD 12 or later, ViewVC uses /usr/bin/diff, which is
incompatible with GNU diff, Side-By-Side diff view shows usage of diff and =
Full
Colored diff view shows no diff.

So I think it is better to add textproc/diffutils to RUN_DEPENDS, or to show
some message about it.

Here is a patch against conf/viewvc.conf.dist to add comment for it.
