Strictly speaking there is something wrong with those diffs. Note
the extra space in the context lines in the first one:
$ WC "pm_apiversion='" + version + "'"
+$ WC "version='" + version + "'"
should be:
$ WC "pm_apiversion='" + version + "'"
+$ WC "version='" + version + "'"
Here is a remake of both diffs combined:
