Unified hunk builder: hunks whose contexts touch are split · case 02
Two nearby changes produce two hunks that repeat the same context lines.
Case contract
Given a full edit script ([tag, line], tags " ", "-", "+") and a context width C, group changes whose separating equal lines number at most 2C, extend each group by up to C lines on both sides, and emit a header "@@ -a,b +c,d @@" followed by the hunk lines. A range start is the 1-based first line, or the line before when the count is 0; a count of 1 is omitted.
Why this case matters
Unified diff output depends on hunk grouping, context trimming and the header conventions for empty and single-line ranges.
