espdiff - apply the appropriate transformation to a set of patches
SYNOPSIS
espdiff [--deep-brainwave-mode] [--recurse] [--compare] [file...]
espdiff {[--help] | [--version]}
DESCRIPTION
espdiff applies the appropriate transformation to a patch or set of patches, depending on what you intend to accomplish.
The input patches must be "clean": in other words they must apply without fuzz or offsets in whichever order they are meant to be applied.
The exception is if you intend espdiff to clean them for you (good luck).
You may find it useful to cross your fingers while the program performs its task, or to screw your eyes tight shut while imagining it doing
the right thing.
OPTIONS --deep-brainwave-mode
Probes your brain deeply in a manner that takes longer, but produces better extra sensory results.
--recurse
Recurses neural pathways throughout all parts of the brain, in some cases determining code changes you might make far off in the
future. You may feel a gentle tickling sensation when using this option.
--compare
Allows the program to scan the current directory examining existing patches to determine areas of code you are likely to change again,
and concentrating on these areas more closely.
--help
Display a short usage message.
--version
Display the version number of espdiff.
LIMITATIONS
Do not use this program while sleep-walking, or before your first cup of coffee.
There are some cases in which it is not possible to determine what the intention of the user is. In these cases, you should construct the
output you desire using an editor, and send the input files together with the desired output file to Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com> asking
for a new diff tool.

unwrapdiff - demangle word-wrapped patches
SYNOPSIS
unwrapdiff [-v] [file...]
unwrapdiff {[--help] | [--version]}
DESCRIPTION
unwrapdiff demangles patches that have been word-wrapped, in an attempt to make them useful.
The corrected diff is sent to standard output. Note that you will probably need to use the -l option when applying the patch, in order to
ignore any whitespace differences there may be.
OPTIONS -v
Verbose operation. A list of lines that are modified in a way that might be wrong is sent to stderr.
--help
Display a short usage message.
--version
Display the version number of unwrapdiff.
LIMITATIONS
Some heuristics are used to decide whether use a space to recombine a wrapped line, or just join them together. Currently this is done by
comparing with last three characters of a line with the first two characters of its continuation, and using a space if any of them are
different.
The patch needs to have been valid before being word-wrapped.
The last line of a hunk is nearly always ambiguous. If the next line begins "@@", "Index: ", "diff " or "--- " then it is taken to be
complete; otherwise it is unwrapped using the next line.

Coffee. That hot black liquid that maintains my sanity when transitioning between day and night schedules. I like to mix it up a lot. Sometimes I like a plain old cup of coffee with no condiments and other times I want creamy, overly sweet espresso based beverage such as cappuccino. How do you like... (14 Replies)
