No, this one is done by understanding where the problem appear first.
What you mentioned above may be achieved by using --base option when
format the patch.

Yes, sorry about that. I did maybe not clearly get how it is going to
look like.

Yes, what I showed was just an example, put the real numbers into the comment.

See above.
