And I claim that quilt is not doing this. You have to provide some sort of evidence of the bug, actually. > Every program writing a diff that contains changes to more than > one file ought to order those ASCIIbetically by the full pathnames > of the files touched. Only then is working on diffs reliably possible. I agree, that's what should be done. That is why quilt does it already. If not already done, please read the long version of my previous mail, not only the TL;DR. This behavior seems impossible in the quilt code. Did you experience a situation where "quilt refresh" produced another order than "in the order of patch file for the files already in the patch, and then alphabetically for the new files" ? If so, how could I reproduce this bug? If not, why did you bug quilt in the first place?
