I have modified to put the context diff alternative second.  I did not
remove it altogether as I have not seen more support to removing it.

        * CONTRIBUTE: Add "cvs diff -up" as a way to generate patches
        when accessing the CVS repository.  Add a note saying that the
        "-up" flavors of "cvs diff" and "diff" are preferred.

Thanks,
