recountdiff - recompute patch counts and offsets
Contents
Description
recountdiff recomputes the counts and offsets in unified context diffs. It does this in two passes: first
the counts are corrected by inspection of the actual patch lines, and then the offsets are adjusted
according to the computed counts.
The corrected diff is sent to standard output.
Limitations
There are some things that cannot be dealt with. If you have removed the first context line in a hunk,
for example, there is no way for recountdiff to know that. For more precise fixing up, use rediff(1),
which uses the original and modified diffs.
