Option -L is not documented in the "diff --help" output (and
as a consequence, in the generated diff.1 man page either).
The doc/diffutils.info file contains
'-L LABEL'
'--label=LABEL'
Use LABEL instead of the file name in the context format (*note
Context Format::) and unified format (*note Unified Format::)
headers. *Note RCS::.
so " --label LABEL" should just be changed to "-L, --label LABEL"
in src/diff.c. Patch attached.
