I botched that link--one of the hazards of URL shortening.

Here's the proper link.

https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/merge_requests/213/diffs?commit_id=a3ac4b667929320d4c8012435d63a9d1dd538a8d

I may persist in URL shortening with Savannah ticket query URLs, though,
since they are so obnoxious (and when rendered on the Web, because they
don't break, cause layout headaches, forcing a tiny font or match the
overall line length to the URL size, so you have to tediously
horizontally scroll just to read a message).

I'm not too thrilled with URLs that demand multiple page table entries
to store.  :-/
