* From: Doug <Doug@gorean.org> * I think it's a ports thing. I see the request for context diffs most * often on the ports list, although it might be a few vocal developers * trying to gain momentum for their cause. :) That's actually the opposite. I believe it's the syntax of ports Makefiles that makes patches easier to read with unified diffs, since it's mostly a series of variable definitions sorted by category, as opposed to a C source file, where there is more context around each changed lines.
