My own method is the following: once patches have been applied upstream, I remove them manually from patches/series, and then rm -rf .pc. Then you can delete the patch files from the patches subdirectory if you don't want to keep a copy of them. The alternative is to pop the patch before you commit it, apply it manually (patch -p1 < patches/$(quilt next)), commit it, and the delete it (quilt delete -rn). The lack of this functionality has been discussed on the quilt-dev mailing list some times ago. Everybody agreed if would be pretty much needed, unfortunately implementing it in a safe and clear way is not trivial, because it changes the logic from a stack-based one to a FIFO-based one. If the implementation is not crystal clear and ultra-safe it would be very easy to screw up your source tree. -- Jean Delvare
