Alexey, please direct your frustration elsewhere. Pietro fixed =
(hopefully) a problem that caused a lot of tcl-dependent ports to break. =
He should be commended, not sneered at. If you don=92t like the way =
makepatch works, take it up with portmgr, not with the committers who =
use it. I know for a fact that portmgr is interested in extending =
makepatch to DTRT.

Besides, there are simply situations where makepatch is just not the =
tool to use. Sometimes I *have* to run diff(1) by hand. Sometimes I need =
to run "make patch=94 before I can edit the diff. Sometimes I=92ve =
edited multiple files and I want to test one diff at a time. Sometimes a =
file needs to be touched by two different patches (I don=92t like it, =
but ten years ago it seems like people really did).

If you REALLY want to solve that issue, make a change to =
src/gnu/usr.bin/diff so that it will take a flag to not put timestamps =
in there.

Past that, please stop venting at committers about this. I just checked =
and I couldn=92t find any time correlation between the Malaysian Air =
flights going down and people committing timestamps in patches.
