I have always planned, but never gotten around to make ctm handle this. The working concept is that if we are working on file "FOO" then if there exist a file FOO.ctm, then I will apply the change to that instead. That way you can change a file like this: cp foo_file.c foo_file.c.ctm vi foo_file.c and so on... Now as you have noticed, patch can be told what suffix to use instead of ".orig" soo... Only problem, I havn't had time. It's a nice little and rather simple problem to add this to ctm, so if you feel that something like this is missing...
