I review patches the following way.
1) I get the patch.. maybe from github
2) use csplit to have one diff file for every changed file
3) use vifm to slide through of these
4) this way of viewing stuff has no clear indication
of the end of the output. Eg
are there further lines after the last '}', I don't know
5) less has ~ characters showing lines after EOF
6) I wanted something similar, but I wanted a cow telling me
that a file has no more content
(replace patdiff below w/ cat in vifm config to get this)
7) flow specific, but I like my diffs filtered through patdiff
to do the hard work of highlighting actual difference by the char
