After loading the patch in a file, type Esc x diff-mode RET If you now move to a place in the middle of a hunk and type C-c C-s, the hunk is split at that point into two hunks. C-c C-k kills the current hunk. C-x C-s saves the file, C-x C-c exits Emacs. In that manner throwing selected material out of a patch is rather straightforward, even when it is in the middle of a hunk. -- David Kastrup - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
