Am I seeing correctly that this is actually just a one-word insertion?
You do your readers no favor by providing patches for comment that
consist largely of content-free rearrangement of line breaks.

Yea, confusing. The change was from:
and the date field order specification
to:
and the input/output specification for year/month/day ordering
When I am in there, I take the opportunity to clean up the arrangement.
If I don't my new text pushes everything out of alignment.
I guess I could make the changes, do a diff, then reformat before
applying to CVS. Would that help?

Yeah, it'd make it easier to see the forest for the trees...
