What format patch does quilt use? I'm guessing unified with function
markers and filenames. Thats the context for the patch. Even if it does
not use that and uses ed script diffs, theres still a context - the
debian upstream tarball. I point this out because changesets require
context - any 'change' becomes random data without context. '+2' for
instance - what does that mean ?
