I suggest we starting from now on, we use the name patch-path_relative_to_wrksrc_filename instead, i.e. run the path of the name of the file to patch through sed -e "s,_,__,g" -e "s,/,_,g" and prefix "patch-". That sounds good to me. Since sometimes interesting comments/reasons for the patches hide in the CVS history, I'd prefer not to rename the existing patches and just use the syntax for new patches. I agree, but these comments really belong in the patch file before the patch.
