For example, if you have applied a pre-patch to a source tree, and +wish to apply another pre-patch (which is against the same original source +tree), you can use interdiff to generate the patch that you need to apply. +You can also use this to review changes between two pre-patches. + +Filterdiff will select the portions of a patch file that apply to files +matching (or, alternatively, not matching) a shell wildcard. + +WWW: http://people.redhat.com/twaugh/patchutils/ -- cgit
