-Keep -p0 and -p1 patches, and convert -pN (N>1) to -p1 in refpatch
+This is my current list of open issues with the patch scripts. I would
+like to do the most intrusive changes before syncing up with the
+Savannah CVS. Of course, contributions are very welcome. It wouldn't
+hurt to know if you want to work on some of the issues in advance to
+avoid duplicate work, though :)
 
-Test Suite
+	-- Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
 
-Support compressed files in .pc/?
 
-Use proper temporary files in parse-patch, so that parse-patch can be used
-multiple times in pipes!
+General:
 
-check if things like reading the patch file list should be done globally
-in some scripts.
+	- Test if patches/ can be moved with environment variable as
+	  planned.
+
+	- Abstract backup operations to/from the .pc/ directory, so that
+	  optionally something like rcs can be used instead of
+	  lib/backup-files?
+
+	- Add regression test suite; the scripts were broken often enough
+	  already...
+
+	- Add a ~/.quiltrc that contains default options for individual
+	  commands, similar to ~/.cvsrc. Also requires some more
+	  negative options so that the effects of ~/.quiltrc can be
+	  reversed.
+
+	- Add something similar to cvs diff, which scans all files for
+	  changes that have not been folded back into their patches,
+	  similar to:
+	  `for p in $(quilt series); do quilt diff -z $p; done'?
+	
+	- Allow to add a directory? Then we could detect also new files
+	  in the directory, without having to add them individually.
+
+	- Add option for creating hard links.
+Documentation:
+
+	- How to rediff with pushpatch -f / poppatch -f?
+
+	- How to import a new version of a patch?
+
+	- How to import a complete directory, before doing
+	  wild changes? (This will also cause new files to end up in the
+	  patch.)
+
+parse-patch:
+
+	- Handle SIGINT in parse-patch -u (in the part that moves the
+	  temp file to the patch)?
+
+backup-files:
+
+	- Extend so that it can also copy files instead of hard linking,
+	  and when hard links are not possible. Also add option to
+	  disallow hard links on the original file (for patchadd).
+
+	- SIGINT handling?
+
+quilt import:
+
+	- Add option to replace the currently applied patch with a new
+	  one, by backing out the topmost patch first.
+
+	- Diff -u the documentation of the old and new file, unless one
+	  of them is empty. Let the user decide whether to keep the left
+	  or the right documentation, or to merge them both. (-d{ona}?)
+
+quilt add:
+
+	- Add option for creating (or rather, leaving) hard links.
+
+
+quilt setup:
+	
+	- spec2series also prints -p1; omit.
+
+rpatch:
+
+	- If not removing the topmost patch, add checks if any files are
+	  hidden by later patches. If so, refuse to remove patch! (Note
+	  that poppatch takes care of that currently.)
+
+apatch:
+	
+	- Allow to add a patch in the middle of the applied series, and
+	  inject the patch in its proper position in applied-patches.
+	  Needs to check if any of the files in the patch are touched by
+	  later patches.
+	  
+touched_by_patch:
+
+	- Implement more of patch's filename heuristic?
 
-Clean up temp file handling
