It is in principal an minimal change, but it is more invasive than it
sounds because the parts which deal with "diffs" are 100% different, and
separate from, those which deal with "deltas". The code which generates the
diff, and outputs the "cannot..." message does not have enough info to know
about the underlying delta (nor whether there is in fact any delta at all -
there is not always one).
