It's generated by diff. It describes the chunk with the changes. '-' is
used for the old file and '+' for the new file. The first number is the
start line of the chunk and second one is the lenght of the chunk.

@@ -old_chunk_start_line,old_chunk_length
+new_chunk_start_line,new_chunk_length

Hope this helps.
