* NEWS: Document this.
* doc/diffutils.texi (Comparing Directories): Likewise.
Also, document that these options work at the top level.
* src/diff.c (compare_files): Treat EBADF like ENOENT, to handle
the case where "-" is closed. Allow the other file to be
STDIN_FILENO, in case it's "-".
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new-file.
* tests/new-file: New file.
Derived from Tim Waugh's patch in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-diffutils/2011-08/msg00034.html
* NEWS, doc/diffutils.texi (diff Options): Document this.
* src/diff.c (compare_files): Implement this, by using
find_dir_file_pathname.
* src/diff.h (find_dir_file_pathname): New decl.
* src/dir.c: Include filenamecat.h.
(find_dir_file_pathname): New function.
This makes the .texi basename the same as the package name,
which is consistent with most other GNU packages.
* doc/diffutils.texi: Rename from...
* doc/diff.texi: ...removed.
* doc/Makefile.am (info_TEXINFOS): Reflect name change.
(diffutils_TEXINFOS): Likewise.
* cfg.mk (gendocs_options_): Remove this customization. It is no
longer needed, now that the .texi name matches that of the package.
* man/Makefile.am ($(dist_man1_MANS)): Remove now-unnecessary sed
filter.
* README: Update references to diffutils.texi etc. here, too.
* .gitignore: Update here, too.
Suggested by Karl Berry.
Convert using this command:
perl -pi -e \
's/(\@option{-.}) or (\@option{--.*?}) option/$2 ($1) option/' \
doc/diff.texi
Then convert some more with this:
perl -pi -e \
's/the (\@option{-.}) or (\@option{--.*?})$/the $2 ($1)/' \
doc/diff.texi
Then convert more manually.

location. Ask for "diff --version" in bug reports.
rather than "character" when talking about cmp, since it compares
bytes, not character.
(Invoking cmp): New trailing operands FROM-SKIP and TO-SKIP.
-i or --ignore-initial now accepts FROM-SKIP:TO-SKIP.
New option -n or --bytes.
Count operands now may be in octal or hex, and may be followed by a

The patch doc still corresponds to patch 2.2, unfortunately.
Update GNU bug reporting address. Omit Larry Wall's address;
it's obsolete and he's busy with perl.
