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?

Regards,
Martin
