Re: [vertimus] Merge uploaded file?

["Kenneth Nielsen" <k nielsen81 gmail com>]

Please make the diff work per string, in such a sense that you always
have the entire section (including comments) belonging toa string as
context and not just a fixed number of lines. I, at some point, became
tired of dealing with ordinary diffs, so a wrote a podiff tool that
works in exactly that way and that the Danish team uses, but the code
is old and ugly so it is not useable for this.
