Thanks.

Excellent :-) Note, however, that the most important part isn't the
ability to create merge requests but to generate *context diff files*
(for example, with the `diff` program on the command line, using
option `-u`). This makes it *much* easier to apply your suggestions,
since the format of such files (a) makes review of the changes very
simple, and (b) allows to apply the diff file using the `patch`
command.
