- 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.

.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
-The file ~/.quiltrc is used by default as configuration file, but that can

-Here are the existing settings and their effects:
+Upon startup, quilt evaluates the file .quiltrc in the user's
+home directory, or the file specified with the --quiltrc option.
+This file is a regular bash script. Default options can be passed to
+any command by defining a QUILT_COMMAND_ARGS variable
+(for example, QUILT_DIFF_ARGS="--color=auto" causes the output
+of quilt diff to be syntax colored when writing to a terminal).
