This inspired me to polish up my patch generator script (attached),
and add some nice features.  I converted it to use your ordinal patch
numbering rather than my date based patch names (which only work if
you commit no more than 1 patch per day).

My .cvsappyrc in the m4 toplevel directory looks like this:

   -z3 -m 'M4 Patches <address@hidden>' -c -i .patch_number
   
So when I am ready, `cvsapply -r -p patch-name [file list ...]'
will generate a patch against the repository, commit changes back to
the repository, and mail a copy of the patch to m4-patches.  Certainly
saves a few minutes of manual file shuffling and email processing for
each patch :-)

Alexandre, if you want it, I'd be happy to contribute this script to
cvs-utils.  The call to mutt at the end is a bit of a wart, but I know
of no better way to add mime attachments from the command line
(patches in the body of a mail seem to get mangled).

Cheers,
        Gary.
