Subject: [StGit PATCH 2/4] Teach new infrastructure to apply patches

From: Karl Hasselström <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2008 04:15:52 +0100

Two new methods: one index method that applies a patch to that index
or fails without side-effects (without touching a worktree in either
case); and one repository method that uses a temp index to apply a
patch to a tree and returning the new tree (or None if the application
failed), entirely side-effect free.

Nothing uses this yet, but "stg edit" will soon.
