Unified diffs (option -u) are some sort of the
accepted standard, at least for the Linux kernel.
My personal opinion:
For stand alone tools and for whole source trees,
like totally new drivers it might be interesting
to have only the small amount of touched Imakefiles
in form of a diff and the rest as a tgz or tar.bz2
based upon the xc root.
This makes review of changes easier because they are
more isolated and the newly added files arent clobbered
in one big text file with extra indention and leading
really meaningless "+" characters.
Only my opinion, i am not an XF86 development member.
