Other implementations of patch(1), including GNU patch and "svn patch"
have a --dry-run option which does the same as our -C or --check
option.
Add a new alias to make our implementation more compatible.

Patch(1) uses a short int for the line length, which is usually
sufficient for regular diffs, but makes no effort to signal
when there is an overflow.
Change the line length to an unsigned short int to better use
the fact that a length is never negative. The change is loosely
inspired on a related change in DragonFly, but we avoid spending
more memory than necessary.
While here adjust the messages to be clearer on what is happening.

This change reverts a change from OpenBSD which made use of
calloc, and therefore wasted time initializing arrays that
will later be realloc'ed. Consistently use FreeBSD's
reallocf().
While here also merge the changes from OpenBSD's manpage
patch.1 Rev 1.27:
"patch was moved from user portability (UP) to base in issue 7
and is no longer optional"

- Tell user what file have failed patch rather than just how
many hunks failed.

As promised, drop the option to make the older GNU patch
the default.
GNU patch is still being built but something drastic may
happen to it to it before Release.
The BSD-licensed patch(1) command has matured and it's behaviour
can be considered equivalent to the older version of GNU patch
in the tree.
The switch has been extensively tested [1] and only two ports
presented regressions, which have since been fixed.
For convenience a new WITH_GNU_PATCH option is available,
but it will likely be removed in the near future.

Properly handle input lines containing NUL characters such that pgets()
accurately fills the read buffer.
Callers of pgets() still mis-process the buffer contents if the read line
contains NUL characters, but this at least makes pgets() accurate.
Make it so that 'patch < FUBAR' and 'patch -i FUBAR' operate the same.
The former makes a copy of stdin, but was not accurately putting the
content of stdin into a temp file. This lead to the undercounting
the number of lines in hunks containing NUL characters when reading
from stdin. Thus resulting in "unexpected end of file in patch" errors.
fclose() being skipped. Fix this by using boolean "&" and "|" instead of
short-cut operators "&&" and "||".
While here, increment the last part of the version string. The reason is
the fixed output file selection logic in pch.c, which was committed as
r250943, yesterday.

Instead of using the file with the least order of path name components,
shortest filename and finally the shortest basename (with the search
stopping as soon as one of these conditions is true), the first filename
checked was used as the reference, and another filename was only selected
if all of the above comparisons are in favour of the latter file.
This was wrong, because filenames with path less components were only
considered, if both of the other conditions were true as well. In fact,
the first filename to be checked had good chances to be selected in the
end, since it only needed to be better with regard to any one of the
three criteria ...

According to the README file [1] the 12u variant, unlike
the 12g variant, contains no copyleft code. It is therefore
convenient to keep using the original versioning scheme to
prevent confusions.

- Remove $DragonFly$ tags as they are using git nowadays and VCS tags will
not help merging.
- Other changes to Copyright headers to make them consistent with other

re-import `patch' into this location. Instead I think I will import
it to 'patch-b', and that way I can be sure that I am starting with
a clean slate WRT the CVS repository.
replace the version we currently have in src/gnu/usr.bin/patch/.
Among other things, this version includes a --posix option for strict
POSIX conformance.
This version is the current source from OpenBSD as of today. It is
their 3.5-release, plus a few updates to patch.c and pch.c that they
made about three weeks ago.
