Bug#428445: [PATCH] rcsdiff must accept -U

Brendan O'Dea <[email protected]>
Newsgroups gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general,gmane.comp.version-control.rcs.bugs
Message-ID <[email protected]>
The usage -N to specify lines of context is no longer supported by diff:

  $ rcsdiff -u10 foo       
  [...]
  /usr/bin/diff: `-10' option is obsolete; use `-U 10'

  $ rcsdiff -U 10 foo
  rcsdiff: unknown option: -U

Trivial patch attached.
