We actually are trying to wean users off of saying "diff A..B" which
is a nonsense notation, so I'd rather not to see it added here.
Describing "diff A...B" is a good idea, though.
While we have our attention on this part of the documentation, would
it make sense to also add description on invoking the combined diff
as well?
