Error in online svnbook (r2799)

[Michael Leahy]

Ryan,

Thanks for the clarification!  I guess I need to get with the program and
update my version.

That said... the Chapter 9 documentation on 'diff' and 'merge' does not
mention the -c option.

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.ref.svn.c.diff.html
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.ref.svn.c.merge.html

Thanks,
--Michael
