Slightly off topic, but could this command eventually be extended to do some series file manipulation? Along the lines of, "quilt series -up foo.patch" to move a patch up in the series file and "quilt series -down foo.patch" to move it down? (The command naming is horrible, I know. It's the concept I'm interested in). josh _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
