Nice...I hadn't learned about the "!" until now. I resorted to

:windo diffoff

One more good trick to add to my bag.

Or alternatively, if you're in the window you want to keep, you
can either use

:on

or control-W followed by "o"

:help :only
:help CTRL-w_o

If you want to close despite changes in the windows you're
closing, you can use

:on!

however this means they're 'hidden', so you still have to deal
with them upon quitting, either writing, or issuing a ":qa!".
AFAICT, there is no in-built variant of ":only" that behaves like
"q!" in each non-focused window in the current tab. I wrote a
short ":On" command once to do that but just found I didn't use
it, so I abandoned it.
