Project Naming

As you already know, Patcher distinguishes (sub)projects by their NAME field in the patcher-projects and patcher-subprojects user options. This name is meant to be explicit and convenient for the user to read. However, some RCSes like (the decidedly weird) PRCS require the actual project name in their commands. It would then be difficult to define project variants for the same directory but with different names.

To remedy this problem, patcher provides a :name project option. If set, it will be used by diff and commit commands instead of the project's name when necessary. See Diff Command for details on how to do that.
