I found this fabulous little web site the other day where you can read
all about diff and deduce the meaning of the response.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff

I think the respondent implied you could produce a file containing all
the differences you'd introduced, then see how this would conflict
with changes in the new version of the software.
