Hi Andreas,
I did more research and quilt seems to have a specific directory structure (.pc dir and such). I did not find any tool that could create the patch in such a way that quilt could use it or a way to integrate quilt with external tools. So, what tool did you have in mind? Any pointers would be very helpful.
Thanks
Hari

Thanks Andreas.

This would be perfect. This is what I have been searching for. Any pointers/links to show how this could be done?
thanks again for taking the time to help out.
Regards
Hari

There's a 'quilt edit' command which adds files and then invokes the editor.
Quilt is not a version control system and doesn't track the entire
source tree, so if you change files before adding them, it has no way
of knowing what the original file contents were. You can always create
a patch with some other tool and then manage it with quilt if that
makes things easier for you.
