Greetings all -- I am trying to make some updates to a program to get it to build for windows. To make a long story short, there is one place where I need to take the source tree and apply a nontrivial number of diffs that are specified in an email I have. The annoying thing is that this is a process that most certainly has been automated somewhere, but it has been a long time since I've been on unix and so I don't remember the commands there very well. The only program I remember that would apply diff specs to files was the source control I used, and those commands worked off a database in a proprietary format. Anyway, does anyone know the name of a command that can update source given the original files and a bunch of diff output? Any suggestions are welcome. It isn't that hard to apply it by hand, but it is tedious, and there are lots of diffs for a lot of files.
