To me (and probably many others), a "diff" is the output of the
command "/usr/bin/diff". I notice that git seems to refer to this as
a "patch" instead. Nevertheless, the documentation of --full-diff
explicitly talks about "log -p", rather than "diffs" in general. So
it's not clear from the documentation that it affects other types of
diffs than those produced by -p ("patches").
