I may be missing the intent of your question, since I don't know how dpatch "solves" comments in patches. But you can put any text you like in front of the actual difference chunks and the "patch" program will simply ignore it. Thus you can perfectly well comment your patches as suggested by Raphael & Charles, when using quilt. I do this, sometimes. -Steve
