It looks like the patch is applied with 'git --apply' from the file stgit/git.py:apply_patch(). The default '-p' value is 1, so we'd have to figure out how to pass the 0 along and then get it into the apply_patch() function. > > - to be able to find where the patch should be applied; I sometimes > receive patches for GCC directory "gcc/ada/", diffed from there, > and if StGit could see that the patch only makes sense there and > not at the top-level it would be great as well > Zowie, I thought I only had to worry about folks sending patches with incomplete information. So you get patches to the ada compiler that are rooted in gcc/ada (e.g. patch in tarball says "./ChangeLog", instead of gcc/ada/ChangeLog) rather than at a top level? Only way I could see to deal with that would be to try and pass in the appropriate prefix from the command line. My current plans are to clean up the first cut at the tarfile logic, then write a test to keep Karl happy, then try to come up with a way to deal with importing patches that don't have complete email addresses, no descriptions, etc. Once I get through that, I'll see if we can deal with weirdly rooted patch series.
