multi file editing in vi
Hi all

Some yeras ago (1994) I had a utility that bundled up multiple files into a big file with a seperator lines. Automatically loaded this temp file into vi - which allowed you to edit all the files. then when you :wq or ZZ vi it saved all the files bak to their appropriate file names and got rid of the temp file. Anybody still using it or remeber it? It was in a Unix magazine of the time - tho' which one I cany remember.

stg-refresh

STG-REFRESH(1)							   StGit Manual 						    STG-REFRESH(1)

NAME

       stg-refresh - Generate a new commit for the current patch

SYNOPSIS

       stg refresh [options] [<files or dirs>]

DESCRIPTION

       Include the latest work tree and index changes in the current patch. This command generates a new git commit object for the patch; the old
       commit is no longer visible.

       You may optionally list one or more files or directories relative to the current working directory; if you do, only matching files will be
       updated.

       Behind the scenes, stg refresh first creates a new temporary patch with your updates, and then merges that patch into the patch you asked
       to have refreshed. If you asked to refresh a patch other than the topmost patch, there can be conflicts; in that case, the temporary patch
       will be left for you to take care of, for example with stg squash.

       The creation of the temporary patch is recorded in a separate entry in the patch stack log; this means that one undo step will undo the
       merge between the other patch and the temp patch, and two undo steps will additionally get rid of the temp patch.

OPTIONS

       -u, --update
	   Only update the current patch files.

       -i, --index
	   Instead of setting the patch top to the current contents of the worktree, set it to the current contents of the index.

       -p PATCH, --patch PATCH
	   Refresh (applied) PATCH instead of the top patch.

       -e, --edit
	   Invoke an editor for the patch description.

       -a NOTE, --annotate NOTE
	   Annotate the patch log entry.

       -m MESSAGE, --message MESSAGE
	   Use MESSAGE instead of invoking the editor.

       -f FILE, --file FILE
	   Use the contents of FILE instead of invoking the editor. (If FILE is "-", write to stdout.)

       --sign
	   Add a "Signed-off-by:" to the end of the patch.

       --ack
	   Add an "Acked-by:" line to the end of the patch.

       --author "NAME <EMAIL>"
	   Set the author details.

       --authname NAME
	   Set the author name.

       --authemail EMAIL
	   Set the author email.

       --authdate DATE
	   Set the author date.
