+Library to parse and apply unified diffs
+
+Features
+
+ - Automatic correction of * Linefeeds according to patched file *
+ Diffs broken by stripping trailing whitespace * a/ and b/ prefixes
+ - Single file, which is a command line tool and a library
+ - No dependencies outside Python stdlib
+ - Patch format detection (SVN, HG, GIT)
+ - Nice diffstat histogram
+
+Things that don't work out of the box:
+
+ - File renaming, creation and removal
+ - Directory tree operations
+ - Version control specific properties
+ - Non-unified diff formats
