Thanks.  The only mention of this I find (now) is in a file called
diffcore.txt, which appears to exist only in the HTML documentation,
but not in the "man" pages anywhere, as of 1.5.5.

[ I pulled a few hairs out trying to find it in the man pages :-) ]

I'd submit a patch, but a guy who takes the easy way out even to get
the documentation (essentially doing a checkout of the "man" branch)
would certainly not be able to test it :-(
