Hi,
I was testing current development code and found out that 'quilt remove'
has been replaced by 'quilt revert'. I don't know what are the exacts
reasons for this but from my point of view, it's a broken change :(
With 'quilt remove', it was possible to remove a file from a patch,
while with 'quilt revert' it's not. For instance, one creates a new file
with 'quilt edit' and then found out, it's not needed. So, I was using
'quilt remove' to remove it. With 'quilt revert', it's a nop.
Can someone help me and tell me how am I supposed to remove a file from
a patch now that 'quilt remove' is gone ?
Yes, 'quilt revert' doesn't work for me, too, to remove a file. E.g.:
-- cut --
> quilt --version
0.47
> quilt files
Makefile
> quilt revert Makefile
File Makefile is unchanged
> quilt files
Makefile
> quilt diff
Index: u-boot-main/Makefile

Seems to me that this "File Makefile is unchanged" as reaction to 'quilt
revert <file>' is just wrong? Any hint how to remove a file from a patch
without 'quilt remove'?
Thanks
Dirk

Is anything being done about this problem?
The way I see it the current "revert" is useful (i.e. remove unrefreshed
changes to files) but so was "remove" (i.e. remove ALL changes to the
file and remove it from the patch).
So why not keep "revert" as it is but restore the old "remove" function
as well?
Thanks
Peter
PS Whatever, the help message/man page for "revert" needs a more
explicit explanation of its function.
