[comp.emacs] How are diff files used to update t

liberte@uiucdcsb.UUCP (01/22/87)

In addition to applying patch to the diffs (which entails figuring out
how to incant 'patch') one must manually pull out each of the new files
which preceed the diffs.

It would be handy to have a program ('sh' is not always available)
which reads the diff file and does all the right stuff.  Since one already
has GNU Emacs maybe just a lisp function is required.  Volunteers?
