[Gnu-arch-users] Canonical way to determine if a patch-log is present?

[Stephen J. Turnbull]

When committing I get the message:

"tree has no patch log for version"

(usually immediately after tagging and doing set-tree-version).

 - What is the canonical way to detect this situation?
 - What is the canonical way to handle it (I've been using join-branch)?

Using commit to detect the missing log and join-branch to fixup the
tree has worked so far for me, but now I'm writing a script (actually,
an XEmacs function[1]) to deal with this, and I wanna do it "right".


Footnotes: 
[1]  My stuff probably could be GNU-ified with little trouble, but it
seems like what I've currently got is well behind what other people
already have published, except that "it works for me".
