WinMerge help could show which is the default compare method #2242

Minor issue: The "Command line" help page shows help for command-line usage of WinMerge. Generally excellent, but the "/m" option says that the compare method must be one of "Full, Quick, Binary, Date, SizeDate or Size", but not what the compare method is if the option is not provided.

Assuming "Full", suggest something like: "If not specified, Full is the default compare method."

Or more tersely, perhaps add "(default)" after whatever method is the default.

If the /m option is not specified, the Full Contents Compare Method is not necessarily used. The comparison method specified by the Compare/Folder Category Compare Method of the Options window is used.
