Seems, the more widely used diffs, always merge adjacent hunks. The only
reference I found to that was the GNU manual statingą:
"In this case, diff normally shifts the hunk's boundaries when this
merges adjacent hunks"
But according to the robustness principle ("be conservative in what you
do, be liberal in what you accept") and since it's still perfectly valid
input and patch(1) happily accepts it, shouldn't Vim also be able to
handle such a diff?
