	maint: update bootstrap and gnulib submodule
	* bootstrap: Update from gnulib.

	Update NEWS
	* NEWS: Update.

	Only warn when trying to modify read-only files
	Failing when trying to patch read-only files causes various users of patch to
	break.  Instead, warn by default and introduce a command line option for

	(main): Implement the new behavior.

	* tests/create-delete: Remove left-over file f.orig before the test.

	For git-style patch files, do not output files immediately
	In git-style patch files, all patches refer to the initial state of the input

	creating all output files once all patches in the patch file have been
	processed.
	* src/patch.c (init_files_to_output, output_files): Add prototypes.
	(main): Remember which type of patch file we are processing.  Initialize the
	output files list.  Output files of git-style patches once all patches have
	been read, or when from git-style to normal patches.
	(file_to_output): New struct.
	(files_to_output): List of the files to output.
	(output_file, output_file_now, output_file_later): Either queue a file for

	 forget_output_files): New functions.
	(gl_list_clear): Should be provided by gnulib but isn't.

	* src/pch.c (p_git_diff): New global variable.
	(intuit_diff_type): Use p_git_diff instead of a local variable.
	(pch_git_diff): New function.

	Remove invalid symlink test case
	* tests/symlinks: Remove test case which deletes and then recreates a symlink:
	all patches in a git-style input file must refer to the "before" state; the
	test case is invalid.

	No longer remember backup files
	Remembering backup files was needed because we would have lost track of deleted
	files before -- but we don't delete files immediately anymore.
	* src/util.c (create_backup_copy): No longer remember backup files.
	(create_backup): Likewise; update comment.
	(move_file): Update create_backup() call.
	* src/util.h (create_backup): Update prototype.
	* src/patch.c (output_file): Update create_backup() call.

	file deletes and recreates a file.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add linked-list and xlist modules.
	* src/util.h (file_id_type): Add DELETE_LATER and OVERWRITTEN types.
	(create_backup, set_file_attributes): Update prototype.
	(insert_file_id): Add prototype.
	* src/util.c (insert_file_id): Export.
	(set_file_attributes, create_backup_copy): Make the st argument const.
	(create_backup): Pass in to_st instead of returning it from create_backup().
	This obsoletes the to_errno argument.
	(move_file): Determine to_st here and pass it to create_backup().  Remember
	when a file is overwritten.
	* src/patch.c (output_file): Add to_st parameter.  Remember files to delete
	instead of deleting them immediately.  Pass from-st to create_backup().
	(file_to_delete): New struct.
	(init_files_to_delete, delete_file_later, delete_files): New functions.
	(main): Use init_files_to_delete() and delete_files().  Pass to_st to
	output_file() where we already have it.
	* src/pch.c (intuit_diff_type): Assume that files which are marked for deletion
	don't exist.

	Create and delete output files in a single function
	* src/patch.c (output_file): New function for creating or deleting an output
	file and backing the old file up as needed.
	(main): Use the new function.

	(insert_file_id): Rename from insert_file(); specify a type when inserting a
	file id.
	(lookup_file_id): Rename from file_id_exists(); return a file id type.
	(create_backup_copy, create_backup, move_file): Use insert_file_id() instead of
	insert_file(), and lookup_file_id() instead of file_already_seen().
	* src/patch.c (main): Use lookup_file_id() instead of file_already_seen().

	Switch from the `old' gnu quoting style to the 'new' one
	* src/common.h, src/patch.c, src/pch.c, src/util.c, src/util.h: Switch from the
	`old' gnu quoting style to the 'new' one in messages and comments.

	* src/util.h (enum file_attributes): Add FA_XATTRS flag for extended
	attributes.
	* src/patch.c (main): Use set_file_attributes() even when the infile doesn't

	infile doesn't exist.  Otherwise, add FA_XATTRS as well.
	* src/util.c (set_file_attributes): Only copy extended attributes if FA_XATTRS
	is set.  Avoid using st where it may be undefined.
	* tests/preserve-mode-and-timestamp: Add file create test.

	explicitly ignore close return value to placate static analyzers

	* src/bestmatch.h (bestmatch): Likewise.

	maint: remove now-unneeded macro definitions
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Include gnulib's signal module,
	so that signal.h guarantees definition of certain macros.
	* src/util.c (SIG_BLOCK, SIG_UNBLOCK, SIG_SETMASK): Remove definition.
	Now, gnulib guarantees that these are defined.
	* src/common.h (SIZE_MAX): Likewise.
	* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Enable the
	sc_prohibit_always-defined_macros check, now that it passes.

	maint: use gnulib's progname module
	* src/patch.c (main): Call set_program_name rather than
	initializing program_name explicitly.
	* src/common.h: Include progname.h rather than declaring the extern,
	program_name.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add progname.
	* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Remove sc_program_name,
	thus enabling this test.

	maint: update bootstrap and gnulib submodule
	* bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
	* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Remove (thus, enable)
	sc_copyright_check, now that the gnulib submodule is up to date.

	maint: update copyright date year ranges to include 2011
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add update-copyright.
	Run "make update-copyright".

	build: avoid three gcc warnings
	* src/patch.c (mangled_patch): Add "noreturn" attribute.
	* src/pch.h (pch_timestamp): Remove ignored "const" attribute.
	* src/version.c (XTERN): Remove unused #undef and #define.

	tests: temporarily disable failing syntax-check rules
	* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Define, to skip all of the
	currently-failing syntax-check rules.  We'll reenable them
	one by one, as problems are addressed.

	build: accept new configure-time option --enable-gcc-warnings
	* configure.ac: Enable many options.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add manywarnings.
	* src/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Use $(WARN_CFLAGS) and $(WERROR_CFLAGS).

	maint: avoid non-portable use of test -a
	With these changes, "make sc_prohibit_test_minus_ao" almost passes.
	Uses of "test -o" remain.
	Note: unchecked uses of test -ot/-nt also remain.
	* tests/empty-files: Use "test C1 && test C2", not "test C1 -a C2"
	* tests/merge: Likewise.
	* tests/symlinks: Likewise.
	* tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise.

	maint: allow the sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF test to pass
	* tests/test-lib.sh: Remove empty line at end of file.

	maint: remove trailing blanks
	* bootstrap.conf: Remove trailing blanks.
	* tests/reject-format: Define a dummy, empty variable, and use it in
	here-doc to protect required trailing blanks from accidental removal.
	* tests/no-newline-triggers-assert: Likewise.
	* tests/preserve-c-function-names: Likewise.
	* tests/create-delete: Likewise.
	* tests/global-reject-files: Complete a sentence that ended in a space.

	maint: add some m4 quoting
	* m4/setmode.m4 (AC_FUNC_SETMODE_DOS): Use proper M4 quoting.

	maint: arrange for the sc_require_config_h_first test to pass
	* cfg.mk: New file, to configure maint.mk.
	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add, so the new file is distributed.
	(config_h_header): Define, to make the sc_require_config_h_first
	syntax-check test pass.
	* pc/chdirsaf.c: Include <config.h>.

	maint: use gnulib's maintainer-makefile module
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add maintainer-makefile.

2011-03-21  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	a non-VC'd ChangeLog file.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	do not version-control ChangeLog; instead, generate it from git log
	With this change, all ChangeLog entries going forward are generated

	* Makefile.am (gen-ChangeLog): New rule.
	(dist-hook): Depend on it.
	(EXTRA_DIST): Add ChangeLog-2011.
	* ChangeLog-2011: Renamed from ChangeLog
	* ChangeLog: Remove file.
	* .gitignore: Ignore ChangeLog.
	* bootstrap.conf: Ensure that ChangeLog exists.
	(gnulib_modules): Add gitlog-to-changelog.
