I'd have said that it would be more sensible to define a reasonable subset of quilt features. A set of patches with comments at the top and a series file can be manipulated by many tools, isn't really quilt-specific. Allowing obscure quilt-only features wasn't what I'd understood from the discussion. Anyway, given that many VCSen seem to be gaining quilt-compatible interfaces, it doesn't really seem like forcing people to use quilt. Matt -- Matthew Johnson
