May I make one request for ZSH patch submitting. It is really nice to
indicate ZSH version, to which patch applies, in subject. Without it one
gets the whole bunch of ZSH patches without any way to select the right(s)
one(s).
One step further would be common patch format. Something, like
ZSH-Version: zsh-3.1.2-zefram4
in body. It would allow automatic sorting and provide patch archive by
version.
(if developers agree on that, probably it shoud be announced on zsh-users
and FAQ as well).
cheers

I think this would be preferable to using the subject line. I'd rather
keep the most useful information near the beginning of the subject line,
and the version number is very rarely in doubt. Perhaps we could come
up with a patch data format that could be recognised anywhere in the
message body, maybe something like
PATCH-DATA:
Version: zsh-3.1.2-zefram4
Dependencies: 3858 3869
Negative-Dependencies: 3859
preceding the actual diffs. Whatever format we come up with would have
to cope with the need to unapply preceding patches, and should probably
also handle gzipped uuencoded diffs (which we occasionally need).
If you come up with a suitable format and a patch-applying tool that
parses it, I'll add it to Util/zsh-development-guide.
