;;; Commentary:

;; This file has two symmetrical usage modes, for patch creation and
;; application, respectively.  The details are somewhat tuned for Guile
;; maintenance; probably we should generalize it a bit and add it to
;; Emacs proper at some point in the future.  Long live free software!
;;
;; On the patch creation side of things, there are various version
;; control systems that are happy to write a diff to stdout (and
;; numerous Emacs interfaces to them all).  Thus, we provide only a
;; simple `patch-send' that composes mail from the current buffer;
;; the contents of that buffer are left as an exercise for the patch
;; creator.  When preparing the mail, `patch-send' scans the patch
;; for standard filename headers and sets up a skeleton change log --
;; filling this in is a good way to earn respect from maintainers (hint
;; hint).  Type `C-c C-c' to send the mail when you are done.  (See
;; `compose-mail' for more info.)

;; TODO: Write/document patch-apply side of things.
;; TODO: Integrate w/ `ediff-patch-buffer' et al.
