Semi-related:

I was wondering why I could not find "-L" in diff's help output or
man-page, then I found:

http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?35267

    Currently CVS uses GNU diff's -L option. That option has been
    undocumented since diffutils 2.8 (released in March 2002) and the
    option is intended to be replaced sometime soon with a different
    meaning.

    Can you please fix CVS so that it uses "diff --label" instead of
    "diff -L"? That will make CVS immune to this planned change.
