          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5

a recent post on the mailing list about generating patches for review got me
thinking that it may be useful to include a program in utils/ that would
generate a properly formatted patch against ns-3-dev, passing all the right
--exclude flags to exclude build/ .hg/ bindings/ directories.

for instance, something like 
utils/generate-patch.sh

could do an hg clone of ns-3-dev in some temporary directory, run the diff
properly, and clean up after itself, leaving a patch named such as
diff-against-<changeset>.patch

it could be extended to allow users to pass other options such as -r
<repository> (if not ns-3-dev), -n <name-of-patch>, etc.
