Appears to be a zdiff issue. A Google search brought me to this page: https://github.com/lionheart/openradar-mirror/issues/1640 which has the following text: >the shell /bin/sh on OS X, is a link to /bin/bash, the GNU Bourne Again Shell >(GNU Bash-3.2). On FreeBSD /bin/sh's manpage states that it's version is the >rewritten version modeled after Bourne shell from AT&T System V Release 4 >UNIX. FreeBSD's sh manpage reference a "setvar" command, where as GNU's BASH >does not. If we want to stop this error, I think the way would be not to use zdiff. Looking at the zdiff program installed on my system it looks like quite a simple shell script and most of it is handling options and help message text.
