I prefer snippetts with surrounding code. The source changes so quickly diffs and line number references can become useless fast. But that's just me
Exactly ! it's not just you, everyone does prefer snippetts.

That's why diff allows -U num (default 3) to select number of context lines. Diff also supports a huge number of display formats, and can be patched. Kathgar specified -uUb as a 'rule' for EQEMu posts.

And also that's why CVS is more convenient than snapshot, as each single version is tracked. So you can get diffs over last change, or over last and previous, ... You can make a snapshot out of CVS, but not CVS from snapshot.


Oh well, nm, it's just tools ... won't change what is in EQEMu.
