Thanks.

Probably it needs a bit of updates to help new people read it.

 * It talks about diff-* family.  They exist, but what they do can be
   triggered also by "diff" wrapper and that is the primary way the users
   know about "diff" these days.

 * Because it was written to illustrate the low-level diff-* family, it
   says "when they are run without -p option".  People who only know
   Porcelain "diff" need to read as if it said "when run with --raw".

 * It does not talk about "log -p" but the discussion applies there as
   well (log is a glorified form of diff-tree).
