Anyone know why Perforce uses

==== //depot/path/to/file#N - /workspace/path/to/file ====

instead of

--- //depot/path/to/file#N Wed Jan 24 14:31:51 2001 +++ /workspace/path/to/file Wed Jan 24 10:47:31 2001

as the header format when performing a unified diff? For one, it makes using ``p4 diff -du'' in combination with patch harder while not providing any clear benefits.

Thanks,
