Re: [bug-patch] Time for a new release?

An initial version with full git-style patch support can be found on
the testing branch.
A snapshot can be found here:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/patch/patch-2.6.1.163-30ef-testing.tar.gz

Please give this a try. Bug reports are particularly welcome right now.

Note that I didn't manage to change the version string of the package so
I've only added the -testing suffix to the tarball's name.

That bug needs a different approach to fix. I'll put that off for later.

Thanks,
Andreas
