Maybe if nothing was pre-initialized.  If I create a quilt/ sub-dir,
everything goes into that.

I sent Andrew several patches for this last year, which he merged.
Some commands were assuming top-level txt/, pc/, and patches/
instead of using $P.  I fixed ones that needed fixing (last year).

Do you happen to recall what version of patch-scripts that quilt
evolved from?

Sure, it's just for sanitation.

Oh, does 'quilt diff' do the equivalent of Andrew's 'rolled-up-patch'
script?

Thanks.
