The patch and diff commands are made to generate exactly that data.

Diff: http://www.hmug.org/man/1/diff.html
Patch: http://www.hmug.org/man/1/patch.html

It's a lot of extra work for the developers to generate that data when it is just as much work (if not easier since you're the only one with your changes) for you to do it.

If you'd like to generate this data and offer it to the rest of the Geeklog community (perhaps on your own web page) I'm sure there are some people who would appreciate it.

I've found this a PITA as well, and would prefer to upgrade just individual files.

Therefore, I will volunteer to write a diff tool to do the job for us henceforth.

Will try to have it ready in the next few days.

Well, it seems diff already does this for us if you give it the right options. Below is the option for just showing whether files differ or not. I'll write a little web front-end for it for my website, and allow specification of the option to show how files differ, not just whether they do.
