Issue 829: ignore patch metadata differences in side-by-side for patches
Status:  New
Owner: ----
Reported by brianwha...@gmail.com, Jan 21, 2011
Affected Version: 2.1.5,1

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. push a change that includes a patch
2. make a change to the patch
3. review the change in side-by-side mode

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I see the two patches shows side-by-side with their differences, including differences in the patch metadata, such as lines where the patch applies and dates of files, etc.  It would be nicer to ignore all of that cruft and only show real differences in the patch hunks.

Please provide any additional information below.
Basically, think of what interdiff does for patches.  It would be nice to see gerrit's side-by-side view understand the patch format and (perhaps optionally) ignore the differences in the patch metadata.
