No, that would be bad. Patch is doing the right thing.
I do not follow you.
>From what you have said, patch's behavior is not the right thing
for this use. If we can make a modified version of it
that would do the right thing for this use, why shouldn't we?
Consider a Makefile that says how to build a certain file, and that
lists that file as a dependency for some other file.
If we remove the source, the Makefile will fail, and the entire build
will fall over.
What happens if the source file is replaced with /* removed */ ?
that way, maybe no changes are needed in makefiles or config.
