##
## applypatch takes four file arguments, and uses those to
## apply the unpacked patch (surprise surprise) that they
## represent to the current tree.
##
## The arguments are:
##	$1 - file with commit message
##	$2 - file with the actual patch
##	$3 - "info" file with Author, email and subject
##	$4 - optional file containing signoff to add
##
signoff="$4"
final=.dotest/final-commit
##
## If this file exists, we ask before applying
##
