-# Often, we may want to backport a patch from upstream to our package. If
-# that's just a matter of cherry-picking a patch from upstream, this script can
-# help. We don't really want to git cherry-pick, but rather add a new patch to
-# our quilt series. In short, this script automates doing that.
-#
-# Call it like this:
-#   % ./debian/patch2quilt ../0000-git-patch.patch 0010-quilt-patch.diff
-#
-# Where `../0000-git-patch.patch' is a patch from git; `0010-quilt-patch.diff'
-# is the to-be-added quilt patch. The script now does this:
-#
-#  - Reset and clean the repository to a clean state.
-#  - Push the entire quilt series.
-#  - Add `0010-quilt-patch.diff' as a new patch in the quilt series.
-#  - Check which files are touched by `../0000-git-patch.patch' and add those
-#    to the newly added quilt patch.
-#  - Apply the git patch.
-#  - Refresh the quilt patch.
-#  - Pop the entire quilt series again.
-#  - Open the new quilt patch in ${VISUAL:-${EDITOR:-vi}} to add annotation.
-#
-# That's all.
-#
-# Note: If the patch file is located in the current repository, it will be
-#       deleted when the repository is cleaned up initially. So don't do that.
-#
-#       Also, if we're just cherry picking stuff from upstream git, there are
-#       likely changes to ChangeLog, which will not apply cleanly. Just throw
-#       away all such hunks from the patch beforehand.
-#
-# `patch2quilt' requires `quilt', `git' and `diffstat' available.
-#
-# Call this script *only* from the git repository's base directory.

-##### Using the patch2quilt script
-
-The `debian/bin/patch2quilt` helper script can automate these tasks,
-but needs to be run from a _clean_ working tree. It's called like
-this:
-
-    % debian/bin/patch2quilt ../existing.diff new-quilt.diff
-
-Here `../existing.diff` is the file containing the existing patch and
-`new-quilt.diff` is the name of the to-be-added quilt series patch
-(make sure its nameing is in line with the established conventions).
-
-The exact operation of the script is described at the top of the
-script file. There are a few things to keep in mind:
-
-* At the end of successful operation you are dropped into an editor
-  which gives you the opportunity to add annotations at the top of the
-  patch file (like if the patch in question is included upstream
-  already).
-
-* Never *ever* run the script when you got uncommitted changes in the
-  worktree, which you don't plan on losing. The worktree will be
-  cleaned and reset first thing in the script.
-
-* As an extension of the previous point, don't put the existing
-  patch you're planing to import into the git working tree. It
-  would be wiped away, too.
-
-* When the script finishes (after you exit your editor), it will
-  suggest how to commit the newly intoduced patch. Season to taste.
