Well I guess you didn't get enough sleep last night, isn't it!
I've never seen that a patch as John sends them with a cvs diff -u and
the newfiles in a tar-ball are rejected, I've only seen requests to Lars
to add some of the "not fast disapearing developers" to the cvs-readonly
list so that is is easier for them to do a cvs diff and include also the
newfiles (and deleted files) in the patch!
I understand that you want publicity for your patched diff-utils!

It seems intuitively obvious to me, which means that it might be wrong.
