question on generating a patch

I read the FAQ and SubmittingPatches, but how best to generate a patch that moves a file from on dir to another? diff -urNP makes the patch a lot longer than it seems like it should be... (fortunately it's just a short header file) Is there a better way? regards, David -- David L. Pars
