Re[2]: [PATCH 1/3] Fixes bug: git-diff: class methods are not detected in hunk headers for Pascal

["Алексей Шумкин" <zapped@mail.ru>]

Hello, Thomas

TR> But the last line very conspicuously already mentions 'class', so why
TR> does it fail?
Yes, As you already discovered that last line match for class/record
definition but not for class methods.

I did as you said I changed commit message (also included
"Acked-by:"). So should I re-submit patch to the maillist as a new one
or as an answer to this thread?

TR> I had to look up a bit of Pascal syntax.  Google helped with

TR>   http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/ref.html

TR> which answers this.  Also, as stated in SubmittingPatches, we
TR> generally word the messages as stating the behaviour of the changed

TR>   userdiff: match Pascal class methods

TR>   Class declarations were already covered by the second pattern, but
TR>   class methods have the 'class' keyword in front too.  Account for
TR>   it.

TR> Ok, now I feel silly for only having a two-liner despite my

TR> That being said, I have now verified that the patch is good, and, you
