Description
I wrote a script to help me name patches correctly, and it may be helpful to others. You use it from the branch where you are working, and it looks in your patches directory to see if other versions of the patch exist, and appends -v<latest+1> if so. If you specify -a, it creates an addendum patch, by appending -v<latest>-addendum.
In summary, it makes patches named like:
HBASE-XXXX.patch
HBASE-XXXX-vY.patch
HBASE-XXXX-addendum.patch
HBASE-XXXX-vY-addendum.patch
The patch uses git format-patch if you have only one local commit, otherwise lets you rebase or use git diff. It does not use --no-prefix.
