Or do I still have to edit in all the function names? Could you run it on some recent gdb commits and show the output?

Having the ChangeLog entries in message one Martin> can do simple git cherry-pick and it's done. This is emphatically not the case for me. Martin> About the date-updating: it's also pain to always update a timestamp before Martin> a patch is installed. What I'm saying is that it isn't a pain. It's a single command before pushing. I can't remember the last time the scripts failed but it's surely been more than 5 years. I write a lot of patches in gdb and I have already filed off as many annoying parts as I could -- which is why my default stance is not to want to change. Changing implies that maybe I'd have to redo this work. Tom
