I want to create a patch using quilt in which there is a directory rename. But quilt add seems to support just files.

If I should use quilt add <old_dir>/* then how can I add the renamed directory to my quilt patch? Invoking quilt add <new_dir> before creating it, gives me an error like this (here the <new_dir> name is _include, the <old_dir> name is include and the patch name is 0001-fix-cross-compile.patch:

$ quilt add _include/
/usr/share/quilt/scripts/backup-files: line 104: .pc/0001-fix-cross-compile.patch/_include/: Is a directory
Failed to back up file _include/

If I use the command without trailing /:

$ quilt add _include
File _include added to patch 0001-fix-cross-compile.patch

Which is not what I mean.

If I first create the directory:

$ mkdir _include
$ quilt add _include
cp: omitting directory '_include'
Failed to back up file _include

How can I add the new directory to my patch? Thank you.
