[PATCH 2/2] Generate unique patch names

From
Karl Hasselström <kha@treskal.com>
Date

Message-ID
<20061107065931.10728.66377.stgit@localhost>

From: Karl Hasselström <kha@treskal.com>

"stg assimilate" was already making sure that automatically generated patch names were non-empty and unique, by suffixing them with a dash and a number if necessary. This patch moves that functionality into the autogeneration function itself, so that all its callers can benefit from it (and the user can benefit from uniform behavior from all stgit commands).

As an added bonus, this permits the removal of a number of checks that would abort with an error if the automatically generated name was empty.
