"""Write ablation variants of a unified diff: the patch minus some changed lines. Usage: python3 ablate_patch.py PATCH OUTDIR [NAME=I,J,... ...] Changed lines ('+' and '-' lines inside hunks) are numbered 1..N in patch order. For each i, OUTDIR/L.diff is the patch without changed line i. Each NAME=I,J,... argument adds OUTDIR/.diff without the listed lines. Dropping a '+' line removes it; dropping a '-' line keeps the original line as context. Hunk headers are recomputed, and hunks left with no change are removed. OUTDIR/MANIFEST lists every variant and the lines it drops.
