This is inconsistent with the format used for patches against release versions, in that the project version and patch title are intermixed. Right now for patches against releases: <project>-<version>-<patch_title>.diff I think this is fine for patches against release versions. For patches against other things I would revise your proposed format to: <project>-<YYYYMMDD>-<short hash>-<patch title>.diff The hash is worth including to avoid possible confusion when there are multiple commits on a single day or devs who forget to pull. Alternately the patch title could be put in front: <patch_title>-<project>-<version>.diff <patch_title>-<project>-<YYYYMMDD>-<short hash>.diff I've just written a script that checks all the patches for correct names and successful application to the specified commit. As soon as the format is completely agreed I'll send it to this list. Britton
