<para>
- Compare directory TARGETDIR against revision REV. Shows files and directories modified, added, and deleted. If there is a file in TARGETDIR not in REV, it will show with an "A" for "added". If a file in REV is not in TARGETDIR, it shows "D" for "deleted". "M" for "modified" will also show.
+ Compare a directory or revision against another directory or revision. If REV_OR_DIR starts with `/` or `./`, it is interpreted as a directory, otherwise a revision. Shows files and directories modified, added, and deleted. If there is a file in the second REV_OR_DIR not in the first, it will show with an "A" for "added". If a file in the first REV_OR_DIR is not in the second, it shows "D" for "deleted". "M" for "modified" will also show.
