Thanks for doing that.
Personally, I'd even get rid of the "diff -cp" alternative. We'll
continue accepting context diffs, but I think that suggesting it,
even if we say later on that we prefer unified diffs, will result
in more patches sent in that format. If we do not want to remove
the context diff alternative, then at least let's put it second.
What do others think?
