Two things that would be great would be: - to be able to import patches with "-p0" (people not using git often sends such patches) - to be able to find where the patch should be applied; I sometimes receive patches for GCC directory "gcc/ada/", diffed from there, and if StGit could see that the patch only makes sense there and not at the top-level it would be great as well Sam -- Samuel Tardieu -- sam@rfc1149.net -- http://www.rfc1149.net/
