As a hack, I tried passing an option `-U0`, but that didn't help, for one-line identifiers it still shows the name of the prev. identifier. As far as I'm aware this is a limitation of the diff machinery. I agree with you that it would be really nice if it could work as you describe... Cheers, Philippe.
