Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing reversePatch support for structured diffs and the public APIs for normal text diffs. Determine how a regular text diff could be reversed, then add coverage showing that applying the original and reversed operations migrates files in both directions.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I know there's a reversePatch for structured diffs, but is there a built in reverse function for the "normal" text diff? I'm not working with structured diffs, so having a way to migrate files both ways using regular text diffs would be super useful.
