that's ok as you said.

works fine for me.

works fine for me as well.

this works fine as well.

again, this works just fine.

Using the same version, for me b)-e) work just fine: the alternate diff
tool is used.

however: if you try e) but show the log for a folder, then the "apply
patch" tool is used since that's done by creating a patch file first and
then applying that patch to the working copy.

maybe you didn't set your alternate diff tool correctly?
