Package: quilt
Version: 0.46-4
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Even when the problematic quilt pop -R option is avoided, quilt generates
noise when cross-directory hardlinks aren't supported. This problem isn't
present upstream in the C version of backup_files, but its behavior wasn't
entirely copied in the shell replacement.
This patch discards error output from ln when falling back to cp. Since
the fallback to cp is there, any error that would affect both will be
also displayed by cp, so this patch shouldn't discard meaningful errors.
