bk-makepatch - (unknown subject)

NAME
bk makepatch − creates BitKeeper patches

SYNOPSIS
bk makepatch [−vd] [−rrange] [−]

DESCRIPTION
The makepatch command is a low level command used to generate BitKeeper patches.

OPTIONS
−B Include the data from any BAM files in the patch. Normally BAM files are sent without the implied data.
−C Generate a patch compatible with any supported versions of BitKeeper.
−d Add a header with the unified diffs to the top of the BitKeeper patch.
−rrange Generate a BitKeeper patch of the changesets in range.
−v Be more verbose for each instance.
− Instead of specifying the range with −r, this form expects the revisions on the standard input, one per line, either as keys or revisions.

NOTES
In general, users do not use this command directly, it is called by bk pull or bk push. If patches are to be sent to a non-BitKeeper user then use bk export.

By default patches are created in the latest patch format known by this version of BitKeeper. With −C patches will be compatible with oldest version of BitKeeper that is still supported.
