Even better, at least in Debian's case, there's debcheckout(1). It hides all the boring stuff. Check stuff out into two dirs, work in one, diff with the other, send patch upstream (or if appropriate, to $distribution), and one doesn't even have to know what VCS tool upstream is using. Simple, stupid, but works, and is pretty much VCS-agnostic. -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
