https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D252515 --- Comment #3 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> --- My preference, if GNU diff did not exist, would be to leave the code as is,= and change the man page to be clear. I would argue that -q and -w are independe= ntly useful, and being able to use -q with whitespace ignored or not is valuable. That said, compatibility with the (likely rather popular) diff is also valuable. We need to do either (a) or (b), and likely need to do a little more resear= ch first on diff implementations on other platforms (e.g. MacOS). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
