Hi all,
Wouldn't it be convenient to have a way to query quilt for its version
number? I think it could be helpful for support (asking the user which
version of quilt he/she is using), as well as for frontends (e.g. Peter
William's gquilt) to find out if the underlying quilt supports a given
command or not.
Attached is a proposed patch implementing "quilt --version". Comments
welcome.
Thanks,
