I know that, but I don't think there is much I can do about it, maybe
you could edit the patch itself before applying it?

This was one of the main reasons why I gave up on creating a patch
tracking system that keep track of both sources changes and patches, as
I found it impossible to find a sane way to merge both streams of
changes while preserving things like patch(1) comments.

Sorry, I was looking at
http://angband.tip9ug.jp/magic/histgw/n/sources/plan9/sys/src/cmd/tcs/utf.c
(see the [none] and [rsc] at the end of different changes)

Maybe it's a bug in histgw, I still have to ask nashi for the source and
take a look, but I don't think I will have time for that at least until
next week.

"glenda" isn't very useful either, but well, this is just a very
insignificant detail, having comments associated with the changes would
be much more useful IMHO but we have already discussed this and I guess
it just wont happen.

P.S.: It's just me, or sources is extremely slow?
