I am now convinced. I agree that the benefit of merging the emacs mode with
quilt itself would be rather thin. For the debian package, that's something
else, I guess I'll include this to save the administrative load.
The main issue is that I'm not sure I have the ability to actually maintain
this code (and I keep my finger away from the quilt code as much as possible
for the same reason). Andreas, are you a vi dude or an emacs one? O:-)
So, either in quilt itself or anywhere else, that's always the same
question: who will maintain the code?
Bye, Mt.
