1 patch for repository http://darcs.net/screened: Fri Mar 9 13:12:04 MST 2012 Michael Hendricks <michael@ndrix.org> * Clarify that diff uses an external utility The first several times I read the help content for the diff command, I understood that darcs used an internal diff utility unless an external command was specified. The slow performance confused me. After reading the code, I see that it always runs an external diff utility and --diff-command simply specifies which one to run.
