'patchview' merges a patch file and a source tree to a set of temporary modified files. This enables better patch (re)viewing and more viewable context. (hopefully) Are there already other tools that do something similar to this? (other than SCMs) The patchview script is here: http://www.xenotime.net/linux/scripts/patchview usage: patchview [-f] patchfile srctree -f : force tkdiff even if 'patch' has errors It uses (requires) lsdiff (from patchutils) and tkdiff. patchutils: http://cyberelk.net/tim/patchutils/ tkdiff: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkdiff/ --- ~Randy
