Auto-errata

[nstephenh]

Auto-errata script and file format.
JSON file with names of things to update

Consider adding last known hash of entry to update

Want an array id changes with target to update and line to do so. Group by page of publication?

Goals of the auto-errata format:

• Allow changes to be applied, and if a changed is removed from a future errata document, easily remove those changes.
• • Why can't you just do this with a git diff?
• • • Because it's hard to tell what's a small data change and what's a conscious errata choice.

Limitations:

• Not useful when you don't have a base version to compare to.
