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).
