And publish it as a "Patch mode for vim". The feature that I'm looking for specifically is being able to edit a patch, and have vim do the line numbering math for me. Also the splitting or combining of hunks.
Isn't it easier to use vimdiff, and edit left and/or right file, then produce the diff ? I mean, having the diff plus the file, you can apply the patch and produce the 2nd file, and then use vimdiff. I really think this is optimal to editing the raw diff. What if you need to change the line which is not in the diff ? You can't, when editing just diff. When editing in vimdiff, you're not limited. And all auto-calculations are done for you, too. Just my 5 c Yakov
