   It would appear that whoever did the original translation of this got it     
   all wrong and it's taken ~20 years for folks to notice it!   
      
   I'll correct it for the next release but I'm struggling to find the right     
   words. Perhaps "Update with diff" or "Use diff to update" or maybe     
   something else?
