According to Allen Tupker on 5/10/2008 12:11 PM:

| When the command diff -c0 A B is used to compare the two separate text
| files (with contents listed below), shouldn't diff report the test2 line
| as "deleted" by preceding it with a minus sign in the diff output?
No. Context diffs (-c) are different than unified diffs (-u). Changed
lines in context diffs are listed with !; with a changed line defined as
any line belonging to a consecutive sequence of lines that is altered
between the two files.
