[Quilt-dev] 'quilt rm', 'quilt cp', 'quilt mv'

[Dustin J . Mitchell]

Several times now, I have lost a bunch of work by forgetting to 'quilt 
add' things before I used 'rm', 'cp', or 'mv' on them.  What is the 
interest in quilt versions of these commands, a la 'svn rm', etc.?

Each would essentially calculate the affected files, 'quilt add' those 
files, and then invoke the basic command, e.g.,

quilt rm foo.* :=
  quilt add foo.*
  rm foo.*

The calculations of "affected files" would be a bit more complex for 
'cp' and 'mv', but they are certainly not undecidable.

If there's interest, I could draft a patch to add these.
