Bug ID: 218018
Summary: BSD diff ignores original file mtime
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Keywords: needs-patch
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Porter's Handbook encourages contributors to format patches via "make
makepatch" but with BSD diff there's an unnecessary noise due to timestamps
always shifting.
