Forgive the crosspost, but I figured both of these lists would like to
know about this. I've written a little python script to parse the
output of mtn diff and output the patch and monotone commands to apply
the patch correctly to the working copy, including renames, drops, and
adds. I haven't *tested* it fully as yet (not quite sure about the
patch command) but it should work.
The point of this is to have a way to do cherrypicking between two
branches without lots of manual work and without having to sync all
changes. I know that OpenEmbedded is in dire need of such a thing so
this should be very helpful.
I have not yet implemented any kind of stdin functionality and this
script does not actually run anything, it only outputs the commands
that need to be run. This is mainly for easy sanity checking. I have
implemented only one option, -R, to output the reverse.

The space handling within filenames is also not nearly right, but it
can be fixed.
Please be kind, this is my first real bit of python coding.
