Description: Scripts for working with series of patches
- The scripts allow to manage a series of patches by keeping
- track of the changes each patch makes. Patches can be
- applied, un-applied, refreshed, etc.
- .
- The scripts are heavily based on Andrew Morton's patch scripts
- found at http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/
- .
- The key philosophical concept is that your primary output is patches.
