Package: quilt Version: 0.42-1 Severity: wishlist As it stands when quilt generates a patch, it uses the current directory in the --- and +++ paths.
This can cause a regenerated patch to have a large number of lines that differ from the previous version of the patch, even if little or nothing has actually changed. So I was wondering if it might be possible for quilt to use bogus, but consistent path names in these paths, i.e. perhaps just use old and new: --- old/... +++ new/... This might be provided as an option to the refresh command, or perhaps even become the default behavior. An equally good, or perhaps even better alternative might be for quilt to just preserve the existing path prefixes when regenerating a patch (either by default or by option).
