Well, given that one of the examples on the interdiff webpage (and a very
useful one, I might add) doesn't work properly on Cygwin, I wonder whether
special handling of "-" should be added to at least the Cygwin version of
patchutils...
No, but perhaps it should be added to the *upstream* version of patchutils.
I've added it to my personal issue tracker.
An alternative would be to implement /dev/std* in Cygwin.
At the very least, this should be mentioned in the Cygwin-specific
patchutils readme.
What? That patchutils doesn't support "-"?
I think people are more likely to try it and see, rather than bothering to
look for the README.
Max.
