Yeah. I think that we shouldn't care about this, or about context/unified diffs, or really anything other than that patch can apply it. Once you apply it, you can issue the correct incantation to see it in whatever format you prefer. If it's a whole patch stack, it makes sense to use 'git format-patch' to generate the patches, because then it's a lot easier to apply the whole stack, but for a single patch it really doesn't matter. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
