I forgot to mention that after "diff -C2" you need to edit the patch to
reduce the context. E.g., from:
*** ../vim-7.2.059/src/version.c Sun Nov 30 15:15:56 2008
--- src/version.c Sun Nov 30 15:28:02 2008
***************
*** 809,812 ****
--- 809,814 ----
{ /* Add your patch description below this line */
/**/
+ "some great new feature",
+ /**/
NULL
};
to:
*** ../vim-7.2.059/src/version.c Sun Nov 30 15:15:56 2008
--- src/version.c Sun Nov 30 15:28:02 2008
***************
*** 809,810 ****
--- 809,812 ----
{ /* Add your patch description below this line */
+ /**/
+ "some great new feature",
/**/
So that the context doesn't contain anything of another patch that was
applied.
