[Freeciv-Dev] pathnames in CVS snapshot diffs

[Jed Davis <jldavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The pathnames in the CVS snapshot diffs aren't always consistent.  For 
example, from the beginning of freeciv-cvs-Jul-04-Jul-05.diff:
diff -H -u -r --new-file 
../../freeciv-Jul-04/freeciv/client/gui-beos/App.cpp 
./client/gui-beos/App.cpp
--- ../../freeciv-Jul-04/freeciv/client/gui-beos/App.cpp	Mon Jun 19 
16:28:02 2000
+++ ./client/gui-beos/App.cpp   Wed Jul  5 04:24:05 2000

Since I use "patch -p3" in /usr/src, this tends to leave files in /usr/src/ 
instead of the correct directory, thereby breaking the source tree.  I can 
get around the problem by piping the decompressed diff through "sed 's|^+++ 
\./|+++ ../../freeciv-Dec-19/freeciv/|'", but it'd help if I didn't have to 
fiddle with the pathnames like that.
