Subject: | bug#20290: 25.0.50; Use unified diff format by default, and recommend using it in reports and patches |

What's the reason for changing the long-standing default? * Use `diff -c' to make your diffs. Diffs without context are hard to install reliably. More than that, they are hard to study; we must always study a patch to decide whether we want to install it. Unidiff format is better than contextless diffs, but not as easy to read as `-c' format. Also, one day is not long enough to allow people time to respond, for any Emacs issue.
