[Pkg-bazaar-maint] Bug#574687: bzr-pipeline: Honour useful options from ‘diff’ command in ‘pipe-patches’ command.

[Ben Finney]

Package: bzr-pipeline
Version: 0.0.1~bzr153-1
Severity: wishlist

The apparent purpose of the ‘pipeline’ plugin is to allow generating
patches, in a more organised fashion than using ‘diff’ for each patch.

In that case, the following options to the Bazaar ‘diff’ command
should also be supported by ‘pipe-patches’:

  -p ARG, --prefix=ARG  Set prefixes added to old and new filenames, as two
                        values separated by a colon. (eg "old/:new/").
  --diff-options=ARG    Pass these options to the external diff program.

These would allow control over the generated patch files, presumably
using existing functionality in Bazaar.
