Re: [PATCH 0/4] grep: add more information to hunk separators

What we also could do: Produce a valid unified diff that would remove
the matching lines if we were to apply it (or the --reverse, i.e. +
instead of -).  Then we wouldn't need to invent a special format, but
the output would be a bit more verbose due to the added +++ lines.

Hrm, certainly that is an option that saves a lot of thinking.

As people tend to learn to focus more on '+' lines when reading patches in
the unified context format, the reverse option would produce output that
is easier to read, I would guess.

I guess it's time to implement these options in order to try them out
against real code.  Won't have time to do so before the second half of
the week, however.

That's OK---we are in no hurry.  Have you heard about pre-release feature
freeze already ;-)?
