Hi,

I understand that for individual classes and non-java resources a patch
should replace them. However for directories which are actually java
packages this seems to be odd. Does this not make it impossible to add a
new class to an existing package or replace only 1 class in a package but
keep the rest? If only the package found in the patch is returned then only
classes in that patch are found and not the classes in the original package.

Best regards,
