While looking at the comments for Patch #100654, I noticed a complaint about the patch being a CVS diff, which is not easily processed by patch.

There is a simple solution to that: process the patch with the script below. It will change the patch in-place, and it works well for me even though it is written in the Evil Language :-)

#! /usr/bin/perl -wi

Propagate the full pathname from the Index: line in CVS output into

the diff itself so that patch will use it.

while (<>) { if (/^Index: (.*)/) { full=full = full=1; print; for (1..7) { $_ = <>; s/ [^\t]+\t/ $full\t/; print; } } else { print; } }
