Let me take this one back. Treating multiple copy destinations and multiple copy sources differently is a bad idea. It is easy for a user to give "-R" option to "diff" to turn such a stupid patch into "somebody brilliantly consolidated two copies of the same thing into a single function", and we want to keep "diff" and "diff -R" output symmetric.
