Until I read Sheldon's motivation I never considered using any other diff format than unified (for anything), just because I had gotten so used to it. But after thinking about it for a while I realized that the default format isn't that bad for setuid/setgid logs.. I used my own patches for a few days of course but they didn't get used that much, so I didn't realize it wasn't that much of an improvment. So I can personally live with the default format for now. Funny how things turn out in the end :). Regards, Markus.
