1 if you specify a patch to `epatch` which does not exist based on the name
2 alone, epatch will now search for it in EPATCH_SOURCE. this makes it useful
3 to apply a set of patches which have a specific order but cannot use the
4 existing lexicographical search.
5
6 quick example is a debian patchset that does not have names to imply sorting.
7 instead, all the patches are ordered according to a file. so now you can do:
8 EPATCH_SOURCE=$WORKDIR/debian/patches epatch $(<series)
9 -mike
