Note how the `-` line became a context line? It _has_ to be, otherwise the

Now the `[tbd]` line in the context has vanished.

This is really an important concept to keep in mind: if you split at
context lines, your hunks can remain immutable. If you want to split
elsewhere, after one of the hunks resulting from said split is a applied,
you have to recompute the other hunk.

Good write-up.
