Hello List:
Is there any way to comment a diff file ?
Interesting question. I don't know, but perhaps this paragraph from
the patch(1) may help:
patch tries to skip any leading garbage, apply the diff, and then skip
any trailing garbage. Thus you could feed an article or message con-
taining a diff listing to patch, and it should work. If the entire
diff is indented by a consistent amount, or if a context diff contains
lines ending in CRLF or is encapsulated one or more times by prepending
"- " to lines starting with "-" as specified by Internet RFC 934, this
is taken into account. After removing indenting or encapsulation,
lines beginning with # are ignored, as they are considered to be com-
ments.
Of course, I read `man diff' before sending the email to the list.
