bk makepatch(7.3ce)         BitKeeper User's Manual        bk makepatch(7.3ce)

NAME
       bk makepatch - creates BitKeeper patches

SYNOPSIS
       bk makepatch [-vd] [-r<range>] [-]

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  Bit-
                 Keeper patch.
       -r<range> 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.
