So if a dpatch file begins with a shebang line that doesn't include the string "dpatch", it should probably just be shown by the patch browsing system as a normal text file without patch-style formatting. (Or even with special formatting for the most common scripting languages -- sh, perl, python, etc. -- if not too much trouble.) Of course it's possible that I am the only person that uses this obscure dpatch feature (I have some scripts to move source code files around during the patch step -- yes, they honor both the -patch and -unpatch flags). So maybe it's easiest not to worry about it too much. best regards, -- Kevin B.
