Why -p0 format patches?

[Michael Ellerman]

Hi,

Just a query, what was the reasoning behind "bzr diff" producing -p0 patches 
rather than -p1 patches? Because CVS/svn/.. do it?

It's a bit of a pain for me, being used to -p1 format. And I notice now that 
changesets look like:

--- BASEbzrlib/commands.py 
+++ TARGETbzrlib/commands.py

Which is kind of a hack, and would look nicer as:

--- BASE/bzrlib/commands.py 
+++ TARGET/bzrlib/commands.py

Just a thought. I guess it's too late now anyway.

cheers
