I like your version much more than mine. I took it with a bit of
asciidoc reformatting.

I detailed a bit more the -M<n> case, so that users do not have to
read the whole -B thing to understand -M<n>. I'm citing the expression
"similarity index" since it sometimes appears in the output of diff,
hence, can help the user to match what's happening and the doc.

New version follows.
