# 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.
