Most obsessive/pedantic/picky PR of the year goes to me, with:

The man page for diff3(1) refers to 'info diff' instead of
'info diff3'

>> How-To-Repeat:

% man diff3

Compare the similarity of the end of this page with the end of the
'man diff' page.

Both refer to 'info diff' for more information, but if you compare
the results of 'info diff' and 'info diff3' you'll clearly see that
the man page for diff3 should be referencing 'info diff3'.

Cheers, Jamie
