Hmm... interesting. I found the -L in Debian's Info page and it's still
there in Debian's "diffutils-1:3.2-2". So either it's a local addition
done by Debian, or the -L is actually documented.
...hmmm... well line 3828 of
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/diffutils.git/tree/doc/diffutils.texi
shows that it's documented in diffutils.
