Actually I do not agree that it necessarily is useless that the same content is shown. Especially since we do not page, it is plausible for a user, who saw a huge hunk, to want to tweak terminal setting and raise scrollbuffer size (which may be set to 0 for usual sessions, like me), and say "please show it again". Or even in a more primitive environment, just say "please show it again" and immediately type \C-s to stop while the early part of the hunk is shown ;-). Thinking about the name of the option again, if we are omitting to show a hunk in some situations, the request to ask for the current hunk to be shown is "please show me", not "please reshow me", so the verb 'print' may apply to wider situations than the verb 'reprint', strictly speaking. Thanks.
