Both of these would be great. For the comment marker, I think hash would be more appropriate. When a // is on the first line of a file, file(1) will report 'ASCII C++ program text'; a hash reports 'ASCII text'. As a side thought, it would be useful to be able to include CVS/Template in the list of templates. CVS/Template may contain comments prefixed with 'CVS: '. > quilt-padheader.patch > > This patch adds a "--pad" option to the header command to automatically add > one or more blank lines to separate the header from the body. It would be nice if this also stripped extra blank lines greater than --pad. -- John _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
