Uh. I really dislike getting a great stream of patches all with the same Subject:, and it appears that quilt is making it more probable that people will do that to me. I'd appreciate it if you make it less probable somehow - make it clear in documentation and examples, default to using the first line of the changelog as the Subject:, or whatever. _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
