Patch reversal: the function context after the header is dropped · case 04

Reversed hunks lose the section heading shown after the @@ markers.

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.
