The "-H" option to the diff command is equivalent to the
"--speed-large-files" option, but both the output of "--help" and the
info documentation document only the "--speed-large-files" option,
not the "-H" option.
% diff --version | head -1
diff (GNU diffutils) 2.8.1
% diff --help | egrep -e '-H|--speed'
--speed-large-files Assume large files and many scattered small changes.
% diff --speed-large-files /etc/motd /etc/motd
% diff -H /etc/motd /etc/motd

The diffutils-2.8.7 alpha release has the same problem.

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.
