Option to remove added characters like '<', '|', '=', or '>' #13

Closed yoosif0 closed 5 years ago

yoosif0 commented 5 years ago

Thank you so much for the awesome project. Can we have the option of not emitting these characters '<', '|', '=', or '>' during replacement?

neilbrown commented 5 years ago

These character are only added when wiggle cannot successfully merge the patch. Just leaving them out, but including the parts of the patch that fails would make a real mess.

what do you want wiggle to do in the case that a patch cannot be applied? Leave a .rej files? Can you give me more information on when the current behaviour is a problem?

Thank you, Neil, so much for your response. When I opened this ticket, I wanted to leave the patch with the mess that is made without these characters, but currently, I no longer need this feature.

Thank you so much again for your effort

Ok, I'll close the issue then. Thanks.
