I thought about that as well.
Technically, that would simply be:

   $ GIT_PAGER= git diff -U0
   diff --git a/cfg.mk b/cfg.mk
   index 51afb74b..4fc3f408 100644
   --- a/cfg.mk
   +++ b/cfg.mk
   @@ -315,0 +316,3 @@ sc_standard_outputs:
   +# Include the manpage check in syntax-check.
   +sc_check-all-manpages: check-all-manpages
   +

OTOH the output format is so much different that I find it quite disturbing
to have chek-all-manpages squashed into the syntax-checks.

Well, Brandon suggested using this, and \*' is already in.
But I'm fine with double quotes as well.

Have a nice day,
