  OK, those are easy enough to comment out but I thought the broken-out
tar file would be cleaner than that.

  While playing with this cleanup script:

===============================================================================
#! /bin/bash

[ -f patches/series ]  ||  exit 1

echo $"Refreshing all patches in series..."
quilt pop -a

cat patches/series  |  while read line
do
	lineno=$[$lineno+1]
	if [ -z "$line" ]  ||  [ "${line:0:1}" == "#" ]
	then
		continue
	fi

	echo ""
	quilt push $line

	if [ $? != 0 ]
	then
		echo -e $"\nError at line" $lineno ":"
		echo -e $line
		break
	fi

	quilt refresh
done
===============================================================================


  I found:

===============================================================================
Usage: quilt push [-afqv] [--leave-rejects] [num|patch]

Error at line 308 :

  I thought this was an isolated instance and fixed it up, then found:

        x86-64-ptrace-ia32-bp-fix.patch # ak no likee

This breaks quilt when you try to push patches by name:

===============================================================================
[me@d2 2.6.13-rc2-mm2]$ quilt push x86-64-ptrace-ia32-bp-fix.patch
Applying x86-64-ptrace-ia32-bp-fix.patch
patch: no: extra operand
patch: Try `/usr/bin/patch --help' for more information.
Patch x86-64-ptrace-ia32-bp-fix.patch does not apply (enforce with -f)
===============================================================================


  Quilt docs only say lines beginning with "#" are ignored, nothing about it
after a patch name.

  ...and BTW why does every line in the series file have a trailing space?
