That did the trick for me; thanks, Adam.

One little question: what if the directories that we're
diffing have different numbers of slashes? How many slashes
do we cut out with '-p'? I had five slashes in one of the
paths and seven in the other, so I added a directory called
'foo/foo' to make the slashes line up. Is there a better
way?
