[Quilt-dev] [PATCH] -h output, export command and more.

[Manuel Estrada Sainz]

 Hi,

 First of all: thanks for a great tool, quilt rocks!!!

 There are some issues that I have been trying to overcome, attached goes some
 patches. Each patch starts with a changelog.

 The patches are not finished, although they do work, please comment on them.

 Specially I would like to discuss:

 - export:
        - layout and format of export directory.
        - 'import' could also be extended to handle the result.

 - I would like to add an email-batch-patch-sending command compatible at least
   with linux-kernel mailing list practices.

        - My inspiration is Greg's
          http://kernelnewbies.org/scripts/send_lots_of_email.pl
        - I am more fluent in python than perl but I guess that since
          scripts/parse-patch already requires perl I should do any helper
          script in perl, is that it?
        - To make it harder to flood with broken stuff, I would make it work
          based on the output of 'export' command instead of directly from the
          patch series. That should encourage checking that everything is OK
          before sending.

 - I also miss patch renaming. Would a patch to add a 'rename' command be
   welcomed?

 That should be enough for now :)

 Have a nice day

        Manuel
