Package: patchutils
Version: 0.2.31-4
Severity: normal

Hello,

Sometimes, when using editdiff, you really want the changes to be as
minimal as possible (so as to send a diff between old and new patch for
instance), and it happens that filterdiff removes the comments added by
diff -p:

@@ -21156,7 +21564,7 @@ if test "$no_recursion" != yes; then

becomes

@@ -21156,7 +21564,7 @@

One should have a way to preserve these comments.
