Hello, I'm afraid I might be walking up to a bikeshed with a can of paint here, but the flood of email in the last twenty-four hours has convinced me to ask. In an article O'Reilly published yesterday, I stated (per the Handbook) that context diffs were the correct way to submit patches with PRs. I've had several people claim that unified diffs are the way to go, and that the handbook is just wrong. Is the Handbook correct, or are unified diffs preferred? I'll be happy to fix my article and submit a PR to correct the Handbook if this is the case.
