Re: kompare won't parse git diffs

quoted

Not only is the git patch format perfectly standard and accepted by other 
tools, it's much better designed than the brain-damaged syntax that GNU 
patch uses (which adds a tab and a timestamp after the filenames). In 
particular, with git patches it is easy to get filenames that have spaces 
and tabs in them right. 

What about filenames with end-of-line character in them? Is it quoted?

You could have done a bit of homework yourself to find that out
easily ;-).  Anyway, the answer is yes.

I wonder what happened to the plan to update GNU diff/patch to
also emit/understand the c-style quoted paths.  Paul?
