    Right now, I have a problem. Is there any convenient way I can get
    the older standard file contents back again, so as to be able to do
    this 3-way diff?

    The old bashrc file installed by previous versions of the ebuild :

    https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/master/app-shells/bash/files/bashrc

    The new bashrc file :

    https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/master/app-shells/bash/files/bashrc-r1

    I don't have access to these files, unfortunately. Github has blocked
    them behind a script. I certainly amn't about to let a Microsoft script
    run in my browser. That is just too high a cost to pay.

    Are these files freely available, anywhere, perhaps?

    In this case it's definitely better to use Gentoo's gitweb instead of
    the GitHub mirror, but, for reference, currently with GitHub you can
    replace "/blob/" with "/raw/" in the address to get redirected to the
    raw address (which has more different parts, but just doing this
    replacement will get you there).

    (Also: For commit diff URLs in GitHub, appending .diff will get you the
    plain diff.)

    (But gitweb is quite better than GitHub, especially now that GitHub
    requires javascript (and also some newer features, so just enabling
    javascript isn't enough, you need one of a small number of
    browsers). GitHub used to be quite usable to browse repositories and investigate code, navigating around different commits in the history,
    and checking "blame" annotations and so on, but now it's not useful to
    me even for just that...)
