[bug-diffutils] bug#21023: REQUEST: --no-dereference missing from manpage + please make a short option for it

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Hey.

It seems that --no-dereference is not documented in the manpage.


Apart from that, --no-dereference seem to me like the more native way
for a recursive diff to work,... i.e. diffing the values of symlinks
and not (recursively) the stuff they point to.

Since no-dereference is so helpful, could you perhaps add a shortcut -R
that is recursive + no-dereference?


Unfortunately it's probably too late to change -r to behave like --no
-dereference (and instead add a --dereference and a -R).


Best wishes,
Chris.
