(diff.info.gz) Unusual File Names

 
 File Names that Contain Unusual Characters
 ------------------------------------------
 
    When a file name contains an unusual character like a newline or
 white space, `diff -r' generates a patch that `patch' cannot parse.
 The problem is with format of `diff' output, not just with `patch',
 because with odd enough file names one can cause `diff' to generate a
 patch that is syntactically correct but patches the wrong files.  The
 format of `diff' output should be extended to handle all possible file
 names.
