Incomplete diff from tarball comparison

I'd like to compare two source code tarballs using diffoscope and examine all the differences. The leading path component in these two tarballs is different (backupninja-1.2.0/ vs backupninja-1.2.1/)

It sort-of works but the diff output is incomplete.

For example, in the two files uploaded at https://try.diffoscope.org/ccqetyerhuxd.html , the file in man/backupninja.conf.5 contains differences but no content-level diff is shown.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
