First, there is no need for conditional referencing, as all the files
that include "diff-options.txt" eventually include
"diff-generate-patch.txt" as well.
Except for git-format-patch.txt which includes the former but not
the latter. But this is inside ifndef::git-format-patch[], so the
above description being a bit imprecise does not cause any actual
damage.
Documentation for all commands that want to describe the `-p`
option by including the "diff-options.txt" file also include the
"diff-generate-patch.txt" file, so an internal link would work
for all of them.
or something like that, perhaps.
In fact I just realized that removing conditionals in fact *fixes* those
documents by providing proper link in them as well, so I'll think of
better description taking into account your observation as well, and
then will re-roll.
Thanks,
