Again, "what is diff for?" Do you really need an editor to do this?

There are other programs like diff which can be used more efficiently. I have been associated with Linux kernel development team for a short period of time (in my college days..3 years back) and they used to use diff as a base for all the patch management. We are talking about tens of thousands of lines of codes here!!

UNIX was meant for small but powerful "tools" rather than a software suite!! Together these tools could do virtually everything. It all depends how familiar and capable you are to take advantage of the tools!

git-patch-id

GIT-PATCH-ID(1) 						    Git Manual							   GIT-PATCH-ID(1)

NAME

       git-patch-id - Compute unique ID for a patch

SYNOPSIS

       git patch-id < <patch>

DESCRIPTION

       A "patch ID" is nothing but a SHA1 of the diff associated with a patch, with whitespace and line numbers ignored. As such, it's "reasonably
       stable", but at the same time also reasonably unique, i.e., two patches that have the same "patch ID" are almost guaranteed to be the same
       thing.

       IOW, you can use this thing to look for likely duplicate commits.

       When dealing with git diff-tree output, it takes advantage of the fact that the patch is prefixed with the object name of the commit, and
       outputs two 40-byte hexadecimal strings. The first string is the patch ID, and the second string is the commit ID. This can be used to make
       a mapping from patch ID to commit ID.

OPTIONS

       <patch>
	   The diff to create the ID of.
