SHAPE_PATCH(1)						      General Commands Manual						    SHAPE_PATCH(1)

NAME

       shape_patch - shapeTools RMS generate patch file

SYNOPSIS

       shape patch OLDRELEASE=<name1> NEWRELEASE=<name2> [PATCHFILE=<filename>]

DESCRIPTION

       Shape  patch  generates	a patch file for updating $(OLDRELEASE) to $(NEWRELEASE). Both releases are identified by release names associated
       with the macros OLD-/NEWRELEASE on the command line. Valid release names are those generated by any of the shape_RMS (pre-)release building
       procedures  (see  shape_releas(1)).  Performing 'vl -all' with the release identification file as argument usually gives a good overview of
       existing release names.	Patch generation happens recursively over all subsystems being part of the current node. Hence,  triggering  shape
       patch from the top node of the central source repository creates a patch file for the whole system.

       The  output  of	shape patch is stored in a file named <name1>+2+<name2>.pat. When the PATCHFILE macro is set on the command line, $(PATCH-
       FILE) is taken as output file name instead.  Defining PATCHFILE=- on the command line causes the patch to be written  to  standard  output.
       Note:  For patches invoking multiple subsystems, $(PATCHFILE) should be set to an absolute pathname. If not, the patch generation procedure
       will leave an equally named patch file for each visited subsystem.

       The patch is constructed using the vdiff(1) command and can be applied to any installation of $(OLDRELEASE) by invoking patch(1).

INCONVENIENCES

       On System V machines, the generated patch file name will almost certainly exceed the 14 characters filename length limit.

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.
