Hi Catalin and Karl,

Today I encountered a problem when importing a patch. I don't know this is a known issue or not. If there are good workarounds for this, I'd like to know that. Any comments are appreciated.

Steps to reproduce -------------------

1. Prepare a patch, say stg-test.patch
2. Rename it to have '..' extension
   $ mv stg-test.patch stg-test..patch
3. Import it
   $ stg import /path/to/stg-test..patch
   You can see a lot of errors.  See the log below.
4. At this point, just few stg operations are available.  I had to
   switch to an other branch, then force deleting the corrupted branch
   to return to the original state.

Note -----

The same goes to stg import -m [e-mail file]. So this seems to be trigged due to the wrong '..' extension.
