--- Begin Message ---Package: quilt Version: 0.48-2 Severity: wishlist I'd like to create a quilt patch that removes many files. Currently this means, that the generated patch contains the entiry content of every removed file. It would be fine, if quilt could either allow the "ed" format of diff, which prints out only one line for the removal or the entire file content or like dpatch, quilt could allow the execution of arbitrary shell scripts.

--- Begin Message ---I'm sorry it took me 5 years to react to this bug. Moreover, I'm sorry but I close it because this is simply impossible to do. What you are asking actually is not to help deleting files (what quilt does very well by generating large diffs with lots of - lines, as you say in your report), but to execute arbitrary commands. Unfortunately, it would be impossible to revert the effect of such "patches", making it difficult to pushing/poping patches on top of the stack. That is why I prefer to close that bug. Sorry again.
