The thing is: sometimes there is a patch which contains just one garbage
line. (I am talking about my current working tree, so you are not allowed
to be offended by my language in this case.)
The thing I would like to do is right click on that line, start a new
hunk, then right click on the next line to start yet another hunk, and
apply this and the first hunk.
It is a lazy way to edit a patch.
Ciao,
