# [PATCH] git-p4: Unset P4DIFF environment variable when using 'p4 -du diff' 2 messages from 2008-03-13 to 2008-03-13. Participants: Shawn Bohrer.

However when using a custom diffing utility such as 'vimdiff' passing options like -du can cause unexpected behavior. Since the goal is to generate a unified diff of the changes and attach them to the bottom of the p4 submit log we should unset P4DIFF if it has been set in order to generate the diff properly.

Since we are displaying a perforce changelog to the user we should use it when it is defined.
