Well I guess this will be the motivation for me to get all my patches made up 
and turned in. I had originally thought it would be nice to break up the 
patches 
based on the functionality they added or issue they fixed. The problem is, I've 
done so much to my Freevo that hasn't been submitted that everything twists 
around everything else.

For example, I have new web functionality that makes changes in favorites.rpy 
and record.rpy, and then a different addition that modifies record.rpy and 
record_client.py. I had hoped I could go in and hand-edit the diff output to 
make things into manageable blocks by function added. In the above example, a 
diff for record.rpy would reflect both changes. Can I go in and edit the diff 
to 
include changes for the first addition, then have a separate diff that contains 
the changes for the second?

I'm afraid that if I delete part of a diff file, it will throw  off the line 
number references in other parts and the patch will fail. And if the patching 
is 
dependent on line numbers, would that mean even if I could break them up, 
they'd 
have to be applied in a specific order? Does anyone have any ideas how I can do 
this without giving myself a headache? Or working full time from here to next 
Sunday?

If there isn't an easy way to do it, does anyone have a problem with me just 
sending in everything in bulk along with plenty of verbiage about all the 
changes made?

I guess this is the price I pay for not sending in updates as I finished them, 
but there are a few things here that I think would benefit the community and 
the 
product.
