ACK.
While we are on the subject, a colleague that I have shown quilt to
pointed out that he is frustrated by the lack of consistency with the
way patch names are passed to quilt commands:
Any reason the quilt folks don't have consistent usage of -P/-p:
quilt add -p [patch] [file ...]
quilt diff -P [patch] [file ...]
quilt files [patch]
Why don't they just use -P everywhere?
I'll generate a patch after the release.
Cheers,
Gary.
