Hi all,
Some times ago I proposed to add a rename command to quilt, to let the
user rename patches:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/quilt-dev/2005-04/msg00014.html
I did write it back then, posted it on this list and am using it since,
and it seems to work just fine. As I think this is a useful feature to
have (one other person asked me for it already), I am posting it here
again as a patch against current CVS, asking for it to be considered for
inclusion.
I am personally using this function to import patches first, then rename
them if and only if they applied and worked as intended, saving the
burden and frustration of renaming a patch at import time and delete it
a few seconds later. This command could also be useful to people using
subdirectories to organize their patches, to easily move a given patch
from one subdirectory to another.
The rename function works on the topmost or named patch, whether applied
or not. My patch includes bash_completion support and a complete test
case.
Comments welcome, of course. Thanks.
Excellent. I was just thinking last night that something like this
would be very useful.
