Package: patchutils
Version: 0.2.30-1
Severity: normal
splitdiff calls lsdiff internally, and when used with the -p option, always
yields this warning:
$ splitdiff -a -d -p1 mypatch
-p given without -i or -x; guessing that you meant --strip instead.
Wrote foo
Wrote bar
The warning will clearly confuse the user, since splitdiff has none of the
mentioned -i, -x, or --strip options.
The problem is that the -p given to splitdiff (used when you want to strip
components from the output filenames) should be passed to lsdiff as the
--strip option. Following is a minimal fix. In addition, the splitdiff
-p should probably be renamed to --strip to be consistent with the other
tools.
