Hah, we recommend that people just work around the problem? How
nice :).

Seriously, the only reason we pass these options is due to
hysterical raisins, right?. Specifically, before we had internal
diff, everyone agreed that the right thing to do would be to
default to unified diff format. But, IMHO, once we got the
internal diff that would always use that format, we should have
lost the automatically passed options to diff, or at least let -x
override rather than append to them.
