Re: [bug-patch] [PATCH] use di-set module rather than hash: easier-to-use, more efficient

This looks reasonable.

One of the things I would soon like to fix is to make --dry-run work for 
patches which modify the same file twice (bug 25860) which will require to 
keep the intermediary results around. Another is to fix git-style criss-cross 
renames (bug 31058); this will require to keep the original files around.

My initial idea was to switch to a name based cache instead of the device / 
inode number based cache as part of that, but maybe there is a better way.

Thanks,
Andreas
