NAME

cmmkpatch - generate patchfile between module tagnames

SYNOPSIS

cmmkpatch patchname fromtag totag module [cm-repository]

DESCRIPTION

cmmkpatch builds a Larry Wall format patch file between two module tagnames. The resultant patchfile can be fed to the patch utility to transform a remote copy of a module. A copy of the ChangeLog messages associated with this range of tags is inserted into the front of the patch. Use a fromtag of "-" to generate the patch starting with the original checked in copy of the file.

Tags automatically created by cmcommit are in the form commit[n], where n is zero or greater (i.e. commit0, commit1, ...). The cm/Patches/[module]/CommitLevel file is set to the number of commits so far for this module.
