Todo / open issues

• reuse original author as well, not only time, if it's the same for all patches. right?

• handle CR vs CRLF etc gracefully somehow (repo with CRLF or something gives patches that don't apply)

• wig should not remove newly created files out of a patchfile (i.e. a patch creates new files, and has some conflict in a change to an existing file; wig will update the change to an existing file, but ditch the newly created files. fix that.)

• (would it be possible to handle merge commits usefully? i.e. reuse conflict merges that might already have been solved there.)

• "git am" fails with 'Patch does not have a valid e-mail address.' if the commit message body has a line that starts with 'from:'

• 'wig' removes the executable flag from files, fix that (not so simple, will have to parse patch file to know which paths are modified? Or can we rely on $rejfile ?)

• test suite

• port cj-git-applypatches to using functional-perl (and make it an example?)

• at least since the "-a" flag was added to the command to commit, it doesn't work with submodules (anymore): it commits to the current submodule in the first commit, then fails when trying to apply any submodule change commits. How to solve this?

• die when not on a branch instead of running into odd error

• binary files: at least stop with an error message

• in some situations, moving a patch will not lead to a conflict but to it being dropped without any error popping up (if the same patch and its reversal were before it, but now after it). This leads to potentially hard to track down differences in the end result. Parse git output for such cases, and/or offer to hard group the patches somehow (i.e. make a single patch out of a group before the re-ordering)?

• set GIT_COMMITTER_TIME to the same current time for the whole of an app run.

• check is broken right now; meaning, it will go actually applying patches until it will die because of some errors in file (missing msg ..)
