;;; Commentary:

;; Provides support for font-lock, outline, navigation
;; commands, editing and various conversions as well as jumping
;; to the corresponding source file.

;; Inspired by Pavel Machek's patch-mode.el (<pavel@@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>)
;; Some efforts were spent to have it somewhat compatible with XEmacs'
;; diff-mode as well as with compilation-minor-mode

;; Bugs:

;; - Reverse doesn't work with normal diffs.

;; Todo:

;; - Add a `delete-after-apply' so C-c C-a automatically deletes hunks.
;;   Also allow C-c C-a to delete already-applied hunks.
;;
;; - Try `diff <file> <hunk>' to try and fuzzily discover the source location
;;   of a hunk.  Show then the changes between <file> and <hunk> and make it
;;   possible to apply them to <file>, <hunk-src>, or <hunk-dst>.
;;   Or maybe just make it into a ".rej to diff3-markers converter".
;;   Maybe just use `wiggle' (by Neil Brown) to do it for us.
;;
;; - in diff-apply-hunk, strip context in replace-match to better
;;   preserve markers and spacing.
;; - Handle `diff -b' output in context->unified.

;;; Old Change Log from when diff-mode wasn't part of Emacs:
;; Revision 1.11  1999/10/09 23:38:29  monnier
;; (diff-mode-load-hook): dropped.
;; (auto-mode-alist): also catch *.diffs.
;; (diff-find-file-name, diff-mode):  add smarts to find the right file
;;     for *.rej files (that lack any file name indication).
;;
;; Revision 1.10  1999/09/30 15:32:11  monnier
;; added support for "\ No newline at end of file".
;;
;; Revision 1.9  1999/09/15 00:01:13  monnier
;; - added basic `compile' support.
;; - have diff-kill-hunk call diff-kill-file if it's the only hunk.
;; - diff-kill-file now tries to kill the leading garbage as well.
;;
;; Revision 1.8  1999/09/13 21:10:09  monnier
;; - don't use CL in the autoloaded code
;; - accept diffs using -T
;;
;; Revision 1.7  1999/09/05 20:53:03  monnier
;; interface to ediff-patch
;;
;; Revision 1.6  1999/09/01 20:55:13  monnier
;; (ediff=patch-file):  add bindings to call ediff-patch.
;; (diff-find-file-name):  taken out of diff-goto-source.
;; (diff-unified->context, diff-context->unified, diff-reverse-direction,
;;  diff-fixup-modifs):  only use the region if a prefix arg is given.
;;
;; Revision 1.5  1999/08/31 19:18:52  monnier
;; (diff-beginning-of-file, diff-prev-file):  fixed wrong parenthesis.
;;
;; Revision 1.4  1999/08/31 13:01:44  monnier
;; use `combine-after-change-calls' to minimize the slowdown of font-lock.
