A few days ago I had an interesting problem. I had to resolve a particlarly nasty Git merge. It involved several files with lines’ lengths in the triple digits and a fair number of very small changes. Seeing those changes (in smerge-mode), even after refining the diffs, was tricky – there were many very small patches (sometimes two, sometimes four characters) of changed text and I was quite afraid that I would miss some of them. I searched for a command to “go to the next patch of changes”, but to no avail. Then I decided to write my own.
