Package: quilt
Version: 0.46-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
When you want to only send out part of a series, this is not
trivial with quilt. This patch adds a --select option to the
mail command to allow editing a copy of the series file before
sending mail so that only those patches you keep in that file
are sent.
