Concurred.  This is against the tip of your tree.  Pasky already
has a version with '-git' in his tree but I trust he can deal
with that single byte change locally.

[PATCH] Fix diff output take #4.

This implements the output format suggested by Linus in
<Pine.LNX.4.58.0505161556260.18337@ppc970.osdl.org>, except the
imaginary diff option is spelled "diff --git" with double
dashes.
