- Several Fixes from Joe Green <jgreen@mvista.com>:
+ Another sed \t\r problem, in Makefile.in
+ Bad error message on "quilt delete" of non-existent patch
+ "import" doesn't remove all leading components on patch file
+ Misspelling in "import" help text
- With using the GNU diff --label option, file timestamps
disappeared. Specify the timestamps in --label by hand: This
gives us added flexibility when generating patches; we may
some day want to support diff styles other than unified.
Also reported by Joe Green.
- Add --backup option to quilt refresh.
- Update documentation to QUILT_${COMMAND}_ARGS in .quiltrc.
(The old settings still work but they are no longer documented.)
- Update German translation.
