[Quilt-dev] [PATCH] quilt diff/refresh --no-index option

[Jean Delvare]

Hi all,

Not everyone likes the "Index:" lines in front of diff files. In
particular, some well-known kernel hackers don't. In order to keep them
happy, I have been adding a --no-index option to both the diff and the
refresh commands of quilt. As its name suggests, passing the option to
either command will prevent it from prepending the two "Index:" lines to
each patch.

I implemented this option in a very similar way to --no-timestamps,
there's nothing really new here. In particular, this means that one can
add QUILT_NO_DIFF_INDEX=1 in his/her .quiltrc file for it to affect all
quilt functions. I also added a test for this option in the test suite.

Patch against current CVS attached. Please consider for inclusion.

Thanks,
