Basically, my intention behind this: David O'Brien introduced this naming scheme for back some months already. He names all patches in the format patch-. This naming-scheme is just great, because it helps maintaining ports a lot. I happened to work on a port David O'Brien did with this naming-scheme, and it helped me a lot to know which patch affects which file. Seriously. That's why I have adopted it. In the meanwhile, I've already imported some patches with such names, and nobody complained. In my opinion, the patch-xx scheme, where "xx" are two letters or digits, should be replaced with the scheme used above for new patches. It's much better.
