+       init.sh: make "compare /dev/null FILE" output more readable
+       * tests/init.sh (compare_): Document the preferred order of arguments.
+       (emit_diff_u_header_): New function.
+       (compare_dev_null_): Emit a simulated diff, rather than just the
+       contents of the unexpected file.  Suggestion from Bruno Haible.
