-Here is a procedure to produce a diff of two versions (commits) of the spec.
-
-For the old version
-1) check out the commit of the old version
-2) run the command (without quotes): 
-    "latexpand --keep-comments --empty-comments main_spec.tex > flat_old.tex"
-3) run the command (without quotes): 
-    "de-macro flat_old.tex"
-
-For the new version
-4) check out the commit of the new version
-5) run the command (without quotes): 
-    "latexpand --keep-comments --empty-comments main_spec.tex > flat_new.tex"
-6) run the command (without quotes): 
-    "de-macro flat_new.tex"
-
-Combine the two versions
-7) run the command (without quotes): 
-    "latexdiff flat_old-clean.tex flat_new-clean.tex > diff.tex"
-8) at this point, can run "pdflatex diff.tex", but it will probably result in
-    errors/complaints.  Edit the diff.tex to resolve these complaints from
-    latex (read the text of the complaints).  Some examples might be:
-    8a) around line 46 - should be something like: \usepackage{framed,color}
-    8b) around line 5542 - remove illegal character
-    8c) around line 1089/1074 - should be something like: \usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
-    8d) remove "uwave" and "sout" from DIFadd and DIFdel commands
-9) run "pdflatex diff.tex" without errors, and get your diff.pdf.
