Do you have the text as above - a single string - or coming from a

En.., the text is multi-string from str(something) within python.
That's a single string in my thinking.
I would treat the text as lines, particularly since the diff markers
etc are all line oriented.
So you might write something like this:
interesting = []
for line in the_text.splitlines():
if line.startswith('diff --git '):
break
interesting.append(line)
Now the "interesting" list has the lines you want.
Yes, i test your method and it will come to my intend, but maybe cast
a few of other steps.
I think that the method will offer a similar ways to solve others issues.
I personally like peter's method: text.partition("diff --git")[0].strip()
Yes, Peter's partition method is very short and direct. Personally I would
include a leading newline in the string, thus:
text.partition("\ndiff --git ")
to make it more precise. Consider a patch which discusses your script; its
comment area might well mention the string "diff --git", as this email does.
What you end up with may depend on what further things you do with the text.
