Re: [PATCH] Add --no-rename to git-apply

Robin said in a follow-up mail that he needs it for a payed-for SCM 
(let's describe it as TransparentBox here), which insists on explicit 
renames.

But I suggest a simple script here which extracts from the diff the 
renames, which outputs a script which renames the file(s) back and then 
uses the TransparentBox' mv command:

sed -n -e "/^rename from/N" \
  -e "s/^rename from \(.*\)\nrename to \(.*\)/mv \2 \1 \&\& tb mv \1 \2/p" \
  < diff.patch

I tried something like that (integrated in the script), and the bugger noticed 
it and refused to work as exepected, but now that I think about it should be
possible to fool it. I have to give it a go again and see what really actually
went wrong.
