Honestly, I think we should be scared of a patch applier that ignored differences in context lines. After all, that's why those context lines are there -- so that they provide additional location cues for the lines being modified. If you allow random other lines to be there, you could be inserting stuff in arbitrarily erroneous places. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
