Interesting question. I don't know, but perhaps this paragraph from the patch(1) may help: patch tries to skip any leading garbage, apply the diff, and then skip any trailing garbage. Thus you could feed an article or message con- taining a diff listing to patch, and it should work. If the entire diff is indented by a consistent amount, or if a context diff contains lines ending in CRLF or is encapsulated one or more times by prepending "- " to lines starting with "-" as specified by Internet RFC 934, this is taken into account. After removing indenting or encapsulation, lines beginning with # are ignored, as they are considered to be com- ments. -- Cheers, Clive -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
