But you have lost the order you have just stated.
"Order by time of addition" ascending ;)
Sometimes what I do is a diff with only post sync lines.
With -p and the end of the list it mostly works.
consider this file
<list1>
BEGIN LIST
I1
I2
I3
END LIST
..
...
</list1>
and consider this patch
<list2.patch>
--- list1 2007-07-11 10:33:26.000000000 +0300
+++ list2 2007-07-11 10:22:16.000000000 +0300
@@ -5,2 +5,3 @@ BEGIN LIST
+ add1
END LIST
..
</list2.patch>
Now this will work. In fact you can apply this patch
multiple times and it will keep adding Items. "patch"
will not warn about reverse patching, but ...
It will add Items from the top. Actually it will add
the Item at an absolute line in the file. At -# line
stated at hunk header, like "-5" above.
