Dotpac-git

Hi,

I was looking into a pacnew manager that works with nano, and found dotpac:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dotpac

However the AUR package is broken, and the author seems missing (I've emailed him but got failed delivery). From a mirror in the original thread, I've uploaded (an unfortunately outdated version) to github:

https://github.com/AladW/scripts/blob/master/dotpac

All I've changed so far is wrap some long lines; in the OT there was some interest to get other fixes in:

dotpac is cool. simple and works.
found a bug:
- `diff -u "$1" "$2"` should be `diff -u "$2" "$1"` because now the pacnew gets '-' signs, and the pacold has '+', which is very confusing.
feature request:
- menu option for vimdiff. or maybe just run vimdiff alltogether instead of normal diff. you can use it to just view the diffs, and advanced users can use it to merge the files. or use a commandline argument to run vimdiff instead of diff.
host the source code on github and i'll fix it for you

So if there's still any interest in this I'll happily take merge requests, and try to restore the author's previous fixes.

Cheers,
Alad
