Description
When generating a unified diff with context, I would like to be able to do a fuzzy apply of that patch. Does your library support this?
For example, take the following unified diff with context 3:
--- original
+++ modified
@@ -2,6 +2,9 @@
2
3
4
+a
+b
+c
5
6
7
And my file looks like the following (exactly the original but with three lines added to the top):
x
y
z
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
Using the linux patch
tool I am still able to apply this patch:
$ patch -o - neworig udiff.patch
patching file - (read from neworig)
Hunk #1 succeeded at 5 with fuzz 1 (offset 3 lines).
When using DiffUtils.patch
of your library I get an error (because the line numbers no longer match):
Incorrect Chunk: the chunk content doesn't match the target
Maybe there is a configuration option to enable fuzzy patching?
