The name of the current patch, if any, is always the last line of
patches/<branch>/applied (and there is no current patch if and only if
the "applied" file is empty). So use that instead, and stop having to
worry about keeping the redundant "current" file up-to-date.

I applied this patch. Could you also send me a patch for the
bash-completion script as it uses this file?

I think the self.__current_file (same for the base file removed in a
different patch) should still be available in the Series object and
removed when deleting a branch, otherwise you get a "Series directory
.. is not empty" exception.

Shouldn't we also migrate to new format as soon as we need to touch a
data - in this case, whenever we push/pop ?

Or maybe declare a new "stgit stack format version" ?  Currently we
have "stg branch --convert", which switches between a "new" and an
"old" format which noone probably uses any more.  What about
versionning the on-disk format, and possibly provide the "convert"
functionnality back and forth between one format and the next, with
formal documentation about which version works with which stack
format ?
