.SH "NAME"
recountdiff \- recompute patch counts and offsets
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBrecountdiff\fR\ 'u
\fBrecountdiff\fR [\fIfile\fR...]
.HP \w'\fBrecountdiff\fR\ 'u
\fBrecountdiff\fR {[\-\-help] | [\-\-version]}
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBrecountdiff\fR
recomputes the counts and offsets in unified context diffs\&. It does this in two passes: first the counts are corrected by inspection of the actual patch lines, and then the offsets are adjusted according to the computed counts\&.
.PP
The corrected diff is sent to standard output\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-\-help\fR
.RS 4
Display a short usage message\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-version\fR
.RS 4
Display the version number of recountdiff\&.
.RE
.SH "LIMITATIONS"
.PP
There are some things that cannot be dealt with\&. If you have removed the first context line in a hunk, for example, there is no way for
\fBrecountdiff\fR
to know that\&. For more precise fixing up, use
\fBrediff\fR(1), which uses the original and modified diffs\&.
