Summary: undocumented argument in filecmp.cmpfile
Initial Comment:
The filecmp.cmpfiles function is described like
this:
cmpfiles(dir1, dir2, common[, shallow[,
use_statcache]])
The documentation doesn't point out what
common is and I haven't been able to figure it out myself.
This is
on my version of python (2.1 on Windows) and in the latest version.
