I was just trying to work out a problem with patch, and, thinking I'd report a bug. I then discovered that the info manual for patch is part of diffutils. It is time either to add patch to diffutils or to split patch's manual out from diffutils?
If the latter is the preferred solution, I'd be happy to make a patch to split diff.texi into diff.texi and patch.texi. (I presume that despite its evident length, I wouldn't need a copyright assignment, as I'd only be moving text around, not writing more than, potentially, a few bridging words.) On a side note, any chance of making the diffutils & patch documentation available under the same terms as automake's? I say this as I'm about to write another email to a Debian maintainer to request that diffutils-doc (a package in "non-free") be updated; it's a horrible example of how two logical and reasonable premises can produce a dysfunctional conclusion in a particular case. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
