    it should be
    possible to get diffs outside a repository with "git diff --noindex".
    That said, I tried it just now and couldn't get it to work.

    It does work, but not for VFC files and it cannot handle version numbers
    in a filename, so its usefulness on VMS is pretty limited.

    No; both do the same thing and both forms of the syntax will never go away, even if the "MCR" form is technically unsupported.

    I'm not saying it's unsupported, but several aspects of VMS are probably unsupported
    (like EDT), but will never go away.
