Presnell) writes: Does anyone have a script or patch to "patch" that does an automagic checkin/checkout (basically ci -l) on a file before applying a patch? I think this should be another option to the patch program itself, which already pays attention to backup creation in various ways. My main need would be to checkin the file, but only if it has never been checked in yet. A subsidiary need would be to check in a file unconditionnaly before patching it. -- Franc,ois Pinard ``Vivement GNU!'' pinard@iro.umontreal.ca (514) 588-4656 cp 886 L'Epiphanie (Qc) J0K 1J0 ...!uunet!iros1!pinard
