Hi,

I've used diff.<TYPE>.xfuncname with great success for file <TYPE>s that I defined myself. However, now I would like to append an extra pattern to the TYPE=cpp case (for which git has builtin patterns). Is there an easy way to do this?

I figured I could open-code the builtin patterns from "userdiff.c", and then append my new pattern to those, but it looks kinda gross :)

Thanks! Laszlo
