[rancid] parameterizing diff lines of context?

[Lee]

The local security policy is that user switch ports get turned off
when they're no longer being used. Which means we'll be seeing lots
of "- shutdown" and "+ shutdown" as the only difference in the
configs. With the default 4 lines of context, rancid isn't showing
which interface changed.

Is this an issue with anyone else (meaning it would be worthwhile to
make it parameterized) or is this a non-issue for most people?


"control_rancid" line 447
# This has been different for different machines...
# Diff the directory and then checkin.
trap 'rm -fr $TMP $TMP.diff $DIR/routers.single;' 1 2 15
cd $DIR
if [ $RCSSYS = "cvs" ] ; then
# --LR-- cvs -f diff -U 4 -ko | sed -e '/^RCS file: /d' -e '/^--- /d' \
# --LR-- 4 is not enough, 8 seems a bit much so try 6
cvs -f diff -U 6 -ko | sed -e '/^RCS file: /d' -e '/^--- /d' \
-e '/^+++ /d' -e 's/^\([-+ ]\)/\1 /' >$TMP.diff
else
svn diff | sed -e '/^+++ /d' -e 's/^\([-+ ]\)/\1 /' >$TMP.diff
fi

which results in:
