# @FUNCTION: epatch # @USAGE: [options] [patches] [dirs of patches] # @DESCRIPTION: # epatch is designed to greatly simplify the application of patches. It can # process patch files directly, or directories of patches. The patches may be # compressed (bzip/gzip/etc...) or plain text. You generally need not specify # the -p option as epatch will automatically attempt -p0 to -p5 until things # apply successfully. Actual code does -p0 .. -p4 Please reconcile.
according to the history, it has always used '-lt 5' as the limit, so it's not like there's a regression. if no one has complained about missing -p5 support, then i guess we just change the documentation to match reality.
