Current behaviour of clojure.data/diff:

=> (diff {:a false} {:a true})
(nil {:a true} nil)
=> (diff {:a false} {:a nil})
(nil nil nil)

With patch:

=> (diff {:a false} {:a true})
({:a false} {:a true} nil)
=> (diff {:a false} {:a nil})
({:a false} {:a nil} nil)


This seems more consistent and useful to me, but I may be missing something.

Should I open a JIRA?
