I noticed that the cheat sheet listed the options "--theirs", "--ours", 
and "--base" for git-diff. These aren't in git-diff's manpage. A little 
grep-fu showed me that these are options of git-diff-files, but 
shouldn't they be documented with the porcelain, if the porcelain 
accepts them as options? (I normally use a text editor to view and 
resolve conflicts, but the presence of these options on a cheat sheet 
indicates that they are somewhat important.)

Thanks,
Dan
