*	pop: Rearm consistency check if needed	Jean Delvare	2014-10-30	1	-6/+17
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	If the series file is inconsistent, "quilt pop" will disable the consistency check as it updates the timestamp of the database file. It's OK if all patches are popped. If not then the series file may still be inconsistent. In that case, we want to update the timestamp of the series file, to rearm the consistency check.
*	Check for series file consistency	Jean Delvare	2014-10-27	1	-0/+44
	Quilt allows manual changes to the series file to some degree. For example, adding comments or reordering patches in the unapplied section of the series file is OK. However, changing the order of applied patches breaks a number of assumptions and can cause quilt to produce unexpected or confusing results. For example, starting from this: + patches/01.patch = patches/02.patch patches/03.patch patches/04.patch and moving the last patch at the beginning of the series file, "quilt series -v" will print: + patches/04.patch + patches/01.patch = patches/02.patch patches/03.patch That is, it will claim that 04.patch is applied, while it it not. Likewise, 04.patch would be listed by neither "quilt applied" nor "quilt unapplied". While addressing all such cases would certainly be possible, that would require a significant amount of work, and would come with performance penalties. It would also be difficult to be certain that all issues have been found and addressed. So it seems more reasonable to simply spot such manual changes to the series file and ask the user to pop all patches to start from a clean state as needed.
