patch to restore -label functionality
Various options to "diff(1)" show filenames, and traditionally make use of the
"--label" parameter, if set.
The BSD diff supports --label for unified and context diffs, but doesn't for
these other cases. GNU diff, as previously installed in base did:
% diff --label hello --label world -s /COPYRIGHT /COPYRIGHT
Files /COPYRIGHT and /COPYRIGHT are identical
% gdiff --label hello --label world -s /COPYRIGHT /COPYRIGHT
Files hello and world are identical
% diff --label hello --label world /bin/ls /bin/pwd
Binary files /bin/ls and /bin/pwd differ
% gdiff --label hello --label world /bin/ls /bin/pwd
Binary files hello and world differ
etc.
The attached patch restores the previous behaviour.
Cheers, Jamie
