- Changebar only works with files in the current directory. For example,
-
- changebar foo1 foo2
-
- works fine, but:
-
- changebar /tmp/foo1 /otherpath/foo2
-
- does not work. I believe that patch is having a problem with paths.
-
- So this is just a quick warning to users that this limitation exists.
- I do not plan to fix it, however a user who wanted to fix the situation
- could, I suppose, copy each file to a known name in /tmp, for example,
- then pushd to /tmp, do the changebar work there, then delete the temp
- files, copy the .chbar result to the original directory and finally
- get rid of any other temp files that we created.
