``Remind us''? You mean, we were supposed to know that somehow?
The manual says almost nothing about diff-mode, which IMHO is a shame,
since it's a great time savior. For example, yesterday I found out
(by sheer luck, simply because I typed a command in the wrong buffer)
that "C-x 4 a" does TRT in the diffs buffer, i.e. looks up the hunk's
function in the original file and generates a correct ChangeLog entry.
This feature exists since Oct 2000, but all that NEWS has to say about
diff-mode, since Emacs 21.1 until today, is this:
*** diff-mode.el provides `diff-mode', a major mode for
viewing/editing context diffs (patches). It is selected for files
with extension `.diff', `.diffs', `.patch' and `.rej'.
I think at least emacs-xtra.texi should include some decent
documentation for a feature which any serious programmer should be
using every day.
