# stg-dispatch - percollates files matching a pattern down to another patch.
# It does the same job as stg-fold-files-from (and makes use of it to
# do so), but from the patch containing the changes to migrate,
# instead of doing so from the target patch.

# usage: stg-dispatch [-n] <topatch> [-#<n>[-<n>][,<n>]...] <file-pattern>
