I wasn't; thanks for the pointer! However, now that I've read the documentation and done some experimentation, it seems like it's not possible to retrofit an existing git-dpm repo with Patch-Name. --record-patch-name is only available on the git-dpm init and import-dsc commands afaict. Also, I took an existing git-dpm repo and on the master branch added a Patch-Name header and also rewrote the Subject field. After a checkout-patched/update-patches --redo roundtrip, these changes were not preserved. So I think the current Patch-Name handling is close, but it would be really nice if this could be preserved through an edit/cp/up cycle.
