       You can use rediff to correct a hand-edited unified diff. Take a copy of the diff you want
       to edit, and edit it without changing any offsets or counts (the lines that begin “@@”).
       Then run rediff, telling it the name of the original diff file and the name of the one you
       have edited, and it will output the edited diff file but with corrected offsets and


       The types of changes that are currently handled are:


       ·   Adding new line insertions or deletions.

       ·   Adding, changing or removing context lines. Lines at the context horizon are dealt
           with by adjusting the offset and/or count.


       ·   Removing multiple hunk (@@-prefixed sections).

       Alternatively, if only one argument is provided, it is taken to be the edited file and the
       counts and offsets are adjusted as appropriate. Some assumptions are made when used in
       this mode. See recountdiff(1) for more information.
