Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I would like a simple patcher for three reasons.
1. hg, at least as I see it exposed through tortoisehg workbenck, will not apply a patch if there is already an uncommitted change. (But perhaps someone will tell me that there is a 'do it anyway' option.) Sometimes when working on a patch, I want to quickly try out ant then revert another patch that I know does not conflict with the current one. 2. The hg patcher does not give error messages (other than 'chunk failed'). So to do a backport, for instance, I re-edit the file instead of correcting the diff.s 3. Not everything is in hg or equivalent. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2057> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
