Is there a method for applying a patch/diff embedded in a code block?

If by `embedded' you mean that the body of a src block is a patch such as 
provided by `git format-patch', you could use the language `diff'. 
`org-edit-src-code' (typing C-c ') with point in the block will open a 
buffer with the body as its contents in Diff mode. You can use the Diff 
menu to do various things like apply the patch. When you are done another 
C-c ' will close the buffer.

With some effort, you can follow ob-template.el[1] as a guide to crafting 
ob-diff.el (say) to allow execution of src blocks, if you think you need 
to go that far.

HTH,

Chuck

Interesting. For some reason the patch can't be applied with a single
command (diff-ediff-patch is unable to figure out the target files, but
Apply Hunk works fine; that's an issue to be discussed on the emacs ml,
though.) Anyway this is more convenient than extracting the patch and
applying it from a shell.

Precisely, I was expecting to see a Babel module for diffs but writing
one for this task is overkill. A function that extracts the current
block, creates a patch and runs `patch' on it will do too and seems like
an easy one to write. Will go down that route if the issue with
diff-ediff-patch can't be fixed.

Thank you Chuck.
