[bug-diffutils] Re: Bug#577832: diffutils: [REGRESSION] newline is added to a line that has no newline if the line is in context (fwd)

[Kai YU]

This change was isolated automatically. Since none of we are familiar 
with the source code of diffutils, we debuged diffutils-2.8.1, 
diffutils-2.9, and diffutils-3.0  in a single step mode and compared 
related variables. We found that the the value of 
filevec[0].suffix_begin in 3.0 is not equal to that in 2.8.1.  Owing to 
we do not know the specific meaning of filevec[0].suffix_begin, we 
suppose the value of it is right in 2.8.1. 

Now we read your reply carefully, and think the value of  
filevec[0].suffix_begin is right in both 2.9 and 3.0, but wrong in 
2.8.1. Moreover, the fix is right. Sorry for disturbing and thank you 
for your reply.

Yes, something bad happened to your email before it
got published in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-diffutils/2010-10/msg00005.html>.  However, I think I understood it despite the encoding problems, and you can read my reply at <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-diffutils/2010-10/msg00007.html>.
