But using this should not really be necessary. It essentially makes usage of the config file option to specify the branch kind of meaningless as it needs to be updated every single rebase. I guess the better is, if upstream-branch a branch, then "rewind" patches on debian branch until it hits upstream-branch and use that as the point-in-time to make the orig, instead of HEAD - Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
