This requires that patches/foo.c was made from src/foo.c. This is the case for the current version, but if you look at a previous version of patches/foo.c in the repository, you have to go out and get the corresponding src/foo.c from the internet in order to see what the change actually was. --Mike -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
