You mean diffs that no longer apply cleanly? In that case you missed our point. Being able to consult intermediate versions of diffs, abandoned diffs etc. is not to be able to apply them "as is". If there were no value in the kind of code those diffs (can) contain we'd not be using git or git wouldn't be preserving every single bit of history. Oh well. This is just another expression of FOSS's biggest weakness. Every project has this centre-of-the-universe tendency that apparently justifies breaking things for large parts of the user base whenever the project feels it's justified. R
