[New-bugs-announce] [issue7585] [patch] difflib should separate filename from timestamp with tab

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik <techtonik at gmail.com>:

The patch inserts \t character between filename and timestamp in unified 
and context diff headers. 

According to specification by Guido Van Rossum =)
http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=164293

And de-facto output from various tools
http://code.google.com/p/python-patch/source/browse/#svn/trunk/doc

And the common sense
--- that it is easier to split	this stuff
+++ than this one into filename + timestamp

--- diff.py Sun Dec 27 16:08:28 2009
+++ trunk/diff.py	Sun Dec 27 15:46:58 2009
