At "Patch" file is that which is the difference of <org> compared to <new>. The output of that is: -<org stuff not on new> and +<new stuff not on org>
With the @@ stuff being @@ -org_line,count +new_line,count @@
where < - > count is equal to all the matching lines INCLUDING the - (minus) prefixed lines in the org file, but less the + (plus) prefixed lines. The < + > count is equal to the number of lines in the "New" file including the + (plus) prefixed lines, but less the - prefixed lines
The patch procedure is "NORMALLY" run against the <org> file to update the <org> file to what the patch requires subtracting out the minus and adding in the pluses.
I hope this is correct.
Oh man, I am gonna need a drink after thinking on this ....
