            Bug ID: 192530
           Summary: patch(1) reject format no longer fixed in context
                    format but missing reject-format option
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.0-STABLE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: melvyn@magemana.nl

patch no longer creates reject files in the context format, contrary to what
the manual page specifies.
It's behavior is similar to Ubuntu's
(http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/patch.1.html), but it's
missing the option to select the reject format (through --reject-format or
other ways).
Personally I prefer the old behavior, since context diffs are much easier to
read and to spot why the rejection occurred, but at least I'd like the option
to select it.
