[Quilt-dev] quilt fold failing when not in root directory?

[jerome lacoste]

Hi

if I have a project.

Someone sends me a patch relative to a directory below the project's
root directory.

E.g.  with a layout like

cruisecontrol/main/docs
cruisecontrol/main/src
cruisecontrol/main/test
cruisecontrol/...

if I am in cruisecontrol/main

with a patch relative to main, quilf fold fails while patch works.

Is that a limitation to quilt fold? Or am I doing something wrong?

Cheers,

Jerome

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
