Hi, There are times when the backup files from patches applied with %apply_patches get in the way. It would be nice to be able to disable backup file generation. e.g. with %apply_patches -n
Can someone with the appropriate skills do this? I can't remember who wrote this macro (I wrote the very crappy initial version of it and someone else made it awesome!), but I have a feeling it was pterjan or Annsi (or maybe it was pixel before he left...?). Anyway, it's a super useful macro, but it would be really nice if it could avoid the backups. Or another suggestion..... who actually uses these backup files? Perhaps they can just be dropped completely?
