Re: Re: Idea: embed patch in .info

Sounds good to me. My primary concern was the mismatch. Being able to
easily find the correct .patch for a given .info (and handle multiple
concurrent versions) would be nice, but by the time I'm messing around
with multple versions I could just md5 until I find the right one at a
time.
