On that point, annoyingly, it's not accurate for every diff. In
particular, when I tried it with the diff for 'v29' of this lock_timeout
patch, it only returns the context diff for the first two files:
zcat 2-lock_timeout-v29.patch.gz | grep -- '--- postgresql' | wc -l
22
zcat 2-lock_timeout-v29.patch.gz | \ filterdiff --format=context | \ grep '\*\*\* postgresql' | wc -l
2
In the end, I did create a local git branch, commit the patch, then
diff it back against master using my context-diff git helper to get
something easier to read through. Rather annoying.
Thanks,
Stephen
