NAMEflipdiff − exchange the order of two incremental patches

SYNOPSISflipdiff [[−p n] | [−−strip−match=n]] [[−U n] | [−−unified=n]] [[−d PAT] | [−−drop−context=PAT]] [[−q] | [−−quiet]] [[−z] | [−−decompress]] [[−b] | [−−ignore−space−change]] [[−B] | [−−ignore−blank−lines]] [[−i] | [−−ignore−case]] [[−w] | [−−ignore−all−space]] [−−in−place] diff1 diff2 flipdiff {[−−help] | [−−version]}

DESCRIPTIONflipdiff exchanges the order of two patch files that apply one after the other​. The patches must be clean: the context lines must match and there should be no mis−matched offsets​. The swapped patches are sent to standard output, with a marker line (=== ​8< ​=== ​cut ​here ​=== ​8< ​===) between them, unless the −−in−place option is passed​. In that case, the output is written back to the original input files​.

OPTIONS−p n, −−strip−match=n When comparing filenames, ignore the first n pathname components from both patches​. (This is similar to the −p option to GNU patch(1)​.) −q, −−quiet Quieter output​. Don´t emit rationale lines at the beginning of each patch​. −U n, −−unified=n Attempt to display n lines of context (requires at least n lines of context in both input files)​. (This is similar to the −U option to GNU diff(1)​.) −d pattern, −−drop−context=PATTERN Don´t display any context on files that match the shell wildcard pattern​. This option can be given multiple times​. Note that the interpretation of the shell wildcard pattern does not count slash characters or periods as special (in other words, no flags are given to fnmatch)​. This is so that */basename−type patterns can be given without limiting the number of pathname components​. −i, −−ignore−case Consider upper− and lower−case to be the same​. −w, −−ignore−all−space Ignore whitespace changes in patches​. −b, −−ignore−space−change Ignore changes in the amount of whitespace​. −B, −−ignore−blank−lines Ignore changes whose lines are all blank​. −z, −−decompress Decompress files with extensions ​.gz and ​.bz2​. −−in−place Write output to the original input files​. −−help Display a short usage message​. −−version Display the version number of flipdiff​.

LIMITATIONSThis is only been very lightly tested, and may not even work​. Using −−in−place is not recommended at the moment​. There are some cases in which it is not possible to meaningfully flip patches without understanding the semantics of the content​. This program only uses complete lines that appear at some stage during the application of the two patches, and never composes a line from parts​. Because of this, it is generally a good idea to read through the output to check that it makes sense​.
