commit-patch - commit patches to Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, Subversion, CVS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PREREQUISITES
commit-patch relies on several programs to get the job done:
perl - <http://www.perl.org>
IPC::Run - <http://search.cpan.org/dist/IPC-Run/>
patch - <http://www.gnu.org/software/patch/>
interdiff - <http://cyberelk.net/tim/data/patchutils/>
cp - Ideally installed on your system already. :-)
and, of course, one of:
darcs - <http://darcs.net/>
git - <http://git.or.cz/>
mercurial - <http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/>
bazaar - <http://bazaar-vcs.org/>
subversion - <http://subversion.tigris.org/>
cvs - <http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/>
On Debian:
apt-get install libipc-run-perl patch patchutils
On Fedora:
yum install perl-IPC-Run patch patchutils
commit-patch is known to run on Linux and Mac OS X. It is perl,
so ideally it will run anywhere, but we have never tested in
other environments, most notably Windows. Use at your own risk.
INSTRUCTIONS
commit-patch: See the man page or perldoc:
man ./commit-patch.1
perldoc commit-patch
commit-patch-buffer.el is an emacs interface to
commit-patch. It allows you to just hit C-c C-c in any patch
buffer to apply and commit only the changes indicated by the
patch, regardless of the changes in your working directory.
One method of working with commit-patch-buffer is to just M-x
vc-diff a file then kill, split or edit the resulting hunks and
to then hit C-c C-c to commit the patch. The other is to use
PCL cvs mode to tag many files and then to diff them into a
buffer which can again be edited and committed.
