Dear all, With the danger of sounding recurrent (since this question was asked before and probably more than once) I would like to ask the status of support binary content in patch files.
Searching in the list I came up with this proposal, back in 2007. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/quilt-dev/2007-01/msg00001.html I guess that was a proof-of-concept but I don't know if it went any further, did it?. My motivation as a possible use-case: Packaging in Debian with git-buildpackage and using its gbp-pq tool results in patches generated by git being applied by quilt in a nice seamless way. However I came up with an upstream commit that I wanted to backport and which contained a .png icon. Even if the icon is present in the git-generated patch (in git's binary enconding format), it is ignored by quilt when applying the patches. So it would be nice if quilt could handle or at least detect that binary chunk and apply it (or have git apply it with git-apply). Could a feature like this ever be considered?
