I was told to use -u. However, given the context (jw makes changes to
multiple files, but always in wp/impexp/pdf/xp), it is my opinion that
diff -Naur abiword-plugins/wp/impexp/pdf
would be best. This accounts for new files, treats all files as text
(prolly not be necessary), gives unified context (human friendly), and
operates recursively. This command is also recommended by fjf and (I
think it was hub or dom).
I was harassed for using diff -C3, they said it didn't even look like a
patch d= Live and learn.

(btw, forgetting about diffs, tarballs are probably preferred to zips
for most of abi's developers)
