In 1.42, a
`return if -d '.git'`
was added to Devel::PatchPerl.
Can this be made optional?
My workflow is:
Download a specific version's tarball;
Check it into a throwaway get to have all files checkpointed
Run patchperl to fix up any issues
Run git diff to generate a patch
Use that patch and a fetch of the tarball from an upstream source as a
distribution mechanism, instead of distributing the patched tarball
directly.
