| So i take it context diff is preferred for code patches?
Either form works for either case. But for readability purposes,
documentation patches tend to modify sentences, and it is nice to see the
before and after effect of a partial sentence without having lots of lines
in between. And code patches tend to modify logical blocks that are
easier to read in entirety rather than with interruptions from the old
version of code.
