`fossil diff | more` =C2=A0Windows doesn't have much of a command= line
environment, but that much at least works on my Windows XP test machine.

I remember when the Unix philosophy was e= spoused as "a collection of tools, each of which does one thing well, = connected together by pipes".

Now it seems Unix is "a collection of tools, each = of which is bloated with overlapping functionality that is none of it very = good".

Why does git replicate functionality i= n a utility that's been in Unix (and Windows (and OS/2 (and DOS (and ev= en the DEC OSes in some form or another)))) since time immemorial?
