Hello,

Wouldn't it be now the appropriate moment to implement the short option =
for --no-dereference?

See:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-diffutils/2015-07/msg00006.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-diffutils/2012-01/msg00001.html =
and next in thread

Regards,

Denis Excoffier.=
