Bug Description

It would be nice to have @auto scanner for patch files (often .patch / .diff), so you could edit patches in-place by removing changes attributed to certain files, move them to other patches etc (and perhaps even apply them).

The boundary between files in patch files can be detected with a regexp like this (stolen from mercurial source):

    diffre = re.compile(r'^(?:Index:[ \t]|diff[ \t]|RCS file: |' +
                        'retrieving revision [0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)*$|' +
                        '(---|\*\*\*)[ \t])', re.MULTILINE)
