[Quilt-dev] quit add /absolute/path

[Andreas Gruenbacher]

Hi,

something to look at maybe: when doing something like this:

  $ quilt new test.diff
  $ quilt add /absolute/path

quilt ignores the leading slash and adds file absolute/path. That's 
wrong and confusing.

Also, when "patches" is a symlink that points to a director above the 
source tree,

  $ quilt add $PWD/foo

will complain that the file is located below patches/, which is 
technically correct but not an error. A patches symlink to the directory 
above is common with "quilt setup". (If patches/ is a directory inside 
the source tree, on the other hand, we do want "quilt add" to fail.)
