You do not get diffs if you use -diff.  That's what -diff means!

You probably do not want -text either.  You might want to force a
specific line ending (on checked out files); but I believe someone
said on this thread that that doesn't actually matter, and besides,
your autocrlf setting should take care of it.

But I don't know; see what works.  Get consensus amongst mswindows
devs that it does indeed work.  Profit!

(I would try doing exactly nothing first; this is the easiest to
get accepted, right).
