A patch splitter

This is a reminder for me and a note for you: when you need to split a patch in many files, patchutils can help. A simple way to use it is:

splitdiff -a -d file_name.patch

Its -d option “creates file names such as a_b.c for a patch that modifies a/b.c”… why doesn’t it create files like a_b.c.{diff, patch}? It is useful, though.
