Uuh, please always say

  diff -u old new

to get a diff with surrounding context.  Without that, it is easy that
somebody has extended the docs in parallel, and your patch gets
applied at the wrong place where the line is accidentally identical
(`diff' intelligently tries to find a matching line in case there is
some fuzziness), but the context differs.
