NAME

interdiff - show differences between two unified diff files

SYNOPSIS

interdiff [-h] [-p n] diff1 diff2

DESCRIPTION

interdiff creates a unified diff that expresses the difference betweentwo unified diffs (patches created with the -u option to diff). Thediffs must both be relative to the same files. For best results,the diffs must have at least three lines of context.

OPTIONS

-h: Create the interdiff as a human-readable diff, one which includesthe default amount of context profided by the diff program with the-u option (3 lines). Without this option, creates a contextlessunified diff to avoid clashes between diffs.
-p n: When comparing filenames, ignore the first npathname components from both patches.

BUGS

interdiff is not 100% reliable, but it could be made so.
