[Bug 620721] [NEW] edit-patch should take -p and -P options

[Barry Warsaw]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

I wrote up this page to describe one way to turn a Bazaar loom thread
into a patch system patch:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation/PatchSystem

It would be nice to be able to use edit-patch instead of quilt directly,
but you also want edit-patch to accept the diff on stdin.  To make this
work correctly, at least with quilt, you'd need edit-patch to also
supply quilt import's -P option to properly name the patch file it read
from stdin.

Also, because bzr diff's default is -p0 but quilt import's default is
-p1, you'd need edit-patch to accept quilt import's -p option to set the
proper prefix level.
