NAME
       recountdiff - recompute patch counts and offsets

SYNOPSIS

       recountdiff [file...]

       recountdiff {[--help] | [--version]}

DESCRIPTION
       recountdiff 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.

       The corrected diff is sent to standard output.

OPTIONS
       --help
	   Display a short usage message.

       --version
	   Display the version number of recountdiff.

LIMITATIONS
       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 recountdiff to know that. For more precise fixing up, use rediff(1), which uses the original and
       modified diffs.
