Package: quilt
Version: 0.60-7
Severity: normal
PROBLEM
$ quilt --color=always push
... works
$ quilt --color=always pop
... nope, *this* command does not accept --color
SUGGESTION
Please accept option --color for every command even if it would do
nothing with it (yet). By accepting the option, it would be possible
to make handy aliases:
alias q="quilt --color=always"
One could also write scripts in a uniform manner:
#/bin/sh
...
quilt $color_option $cmd
Now the commands need cubersome handling to turn colors on or off.

Hello Jari,
thanks for the feedback on this bug, but I think that making all
commands accept the --color flag even if they don't use it would be
wrong. Actually, you can already setup the colors in quilt. Simply,
instead of using a bash alias, you should use a ~/.quiltrc file.
Here is mine for example:
QUILT_DIFF_ARGS="--color --show-c-function -p"
QUILT_SERIES_ARGS="--color"
QUILT_REFRESH_ARGS="-p ab --diffstat"
QUILT_NO_DIFF_TIMESTAMPS=1
With the 2 first, I get the colors each time I use quilt diff or quilt
series. That usage is hinted in the man page, and rather explicit in
/usr/share/doc/quilt/examples/quilt.quiltrc
Bye, Mt.
