 (defcustom vc-diff-switches nil
   "*A string or list of strings specifying switches for diff under VC.
-There is also an option vc-BACKEND-diff-switches for each BACKEND that
-VC can handle."
+When running diff under a given BACKEND, VC concatenates the values of
+`diff-switches', `vc-diff-switches', and `vc-BACKEND-diff-switches' to
+get the switches for that command.  Thus, `vc-diff-switches' should
+contain switches that are specific to version control, but not
+specific to any particular backend."
