You mean diffs that no longer apply cleanly? In that case you missed our point. Being \
able to consult intermediate versions of diffs, abandoned diffs etc. is not to be \
able to apply them "as is". If there were no value in the kind of code those diffs \
(can) contain we'd not be using git or git wouldn't be preserving every single bit of \
history. 


Oh well. This is just another expression of FOSS's biggest weakness. Every project \
has this centre-of-the-universe tendency that apparently justifies breaking things \
for large parts of the user base whenever the project feels it's justified.
