Yeah, that's probably just as good. My recent patch[1] for
Pin_Headers.pretty had 3,242 additions and 3,242 deletions. So the
patch was about as big as the files and applying it is just as good as
overwriting everything really. The advantage of patches for code
doesn't really translate to design files.
