Manual?  The only thing I could find was the help output, which was of
no help for this.  It claims it has no man page and I couldn't find one
online, unless my search terms are bad again.  o_O 

I recall seeing some moves, saw it on -dev mailing list.  I just didn't
know eix-diff showed the change. 

Thanks.  Now I know, if only I can remember it.  :/
