[announce] 'patchview' ver. 003

[randy_dunlap]

Hi,

[version 003]

'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)


The patchview script is here:
  http://www.xenotime.net/linux/scripts/patchview


usage: patchview [-f] patchfile srctree {ver. 003}
  -f : force tkdiff even if 'patch' has errors
  -s : single tkdiff even if patchfile contains multiple files


It uses (requires) lsdiff (from patchutils) and tkdiff.

patchutils:  http://cyberelk.net/tim/patchutils/
tkdiff:      http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkdiff/
