Package: quilt
Version: 0.44-6
Severity: wishlist

I keep an automatically generated autofiles.diff patch that needs to
be applied last, and it also needs to be updated from time to time.
In order to update, I need to be able to apply everything up to, but
not including the autofiles.diff patch.  For this purpose, it would be
quite helpful to have something like an --exclusive option for push,
i.e.:

  quilt push --exclusive autofiles.diff

This would push all the patches up to, but not including
autofiles.diff.

Thanks

Well, nobody asked for that feature again, and I must confess that the
codebase is already complex enough. So I close that bug instead of
cluttering the code any further.

Sorry, and thanks for the feedback anyway,
