Can we not call it "--diff-file"? Although shorter, it may be
confusing to a lot of people, since the "diff file" often means the
file containing diff data, that is, input to the `patch' program.

Any of `--diff-cmd', `--diff-pgm', or `--diff-program' would avoid
this.

Oh, don't worry, no one was proposing to ignore it (at least, that's
not what I meant).
