strange (I don't think we did anything in that area)

Are you configuring with color style? (if not, it should be the same as before)

I was undecided - actually more concerned about the complex shell
expression which isn't quoted. But I am not convinced the rule would
be used heavily enough to justify it. My practice is to diff the
directories using my directory editor, e.g., select the two I want,
and type
!diff-patch #
(works for all of the programs, whether there's a patch rule or not).
