No, it doesn't. "diff -u1 a b" is the same as "diff -u -1 a b", though I
have no idea what the undocumented "-1" option does.

If you specify it like "diff -u 1 a b" GNU diff complains about the extra
operand "b".

(IM[NS]HO spaces between option and parameter should mandatory, but I
guess it's some old compatibility bug)
