Subject: bug#20290: 25.0.50; Use unified diff format by default, and recommend using it in reports and patches
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2015 03:33:23 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c5d23ce8u4.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <86bnix6p9l.fsf@yandex.ru> (Dmitry Gutov's message of "Thu, 09 Apr 2015 23:05:42 +0300")
What's the reason for changing the long-standing default?
* Use `diff -c' to make your diffs. Diffs without context are hard
to install reliably. More than that, they are hard to study; we
must always study a patch to decide whether we want to install it.
Unidiff format is better than contextless diffs, but not as easy
to read as `-c' format.
Also, one day is not long enough to allow people time to respond,
for any Emacs issue.
