Hi list,
When modifying patch files, i'm getting a bit sick of counting lines just
so I can modify hunk sizes to correctly apply a patch.
Then I noticed at the bottom of the man page for "patch":
"Paul Eggert removed patchs arbitrary limits"
Has that statement got anything to do with arbitrary hunk sizes? If so,
could this be reinstated but only turned on with a flag e.g:
"patch --ignore-size"
Also, could the documentation for patch be updated with proper bug
reporting? Mine says:
"Report bugs to <address@hidden>"
However, emailing to that address doesn't get through unless you subscribe
to the mailing list (as i've just found out). I guess it would be the same
for other GNU tools as well.
