This message follows up on an old Diff bug report by Kevin Pearson <http://www.red-bean.com/bug-cvs/0600.html> and proposed patch by Karl Tomlinson <http://www.red-bean.com/bug-cvs/0745.html>.

I think the > --inhibit-hunk-merge option of 2.7.2 is no longer required. Thanks for the analysis and patch. I fixed the problem in a somewhat different way, and you can see the result in the latest test version of GNU diffutils, in: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/diffutils-2.7.10.tar.gz (The fix has actually been present since diffutils test version 2.7.3 in November, but I forgot to drop you a line then.) > I can submit patches for cvs also but I'll wait to see if there is > feedback on this. Sorry about the late feedback, and thanks again for the fix. (Also thanks to Jim Meyering who kept bugging me to release a fixed version of diffutils. :-) _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
