Patch reversal: reversed blocks list additions before removals · case 05
The reversed hunk shows new lines before old lines inside each change.
Case contract
Reverse one unified hunk: swap the old and new ranges in the header, keeping each range's count omitted if it was omitted and keeping any trailing header text; swap "-" and "+" on body lines; within each run of changed lines emit the (new) removed lines before the (new) added lines; a "\" marker line stays attached to the line it follows.
Why this case matters
Reverting a change applies the reversed patch, which must still be a valid, conventionally ordered hunk.
