Bug Description
My first attempt to use splitpatch caused it to hang on the patch I tried it on.
This is an up to date Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS installation:
the splitpatch package version is
0.0+20130626+
The current version of splitpatch found at
https:/
has no such problem, and its code is rather different.
The patch in question is here:
https:/
Incidentally, patch refuses to apply that patch, saying it is malformed.
splitpatch still shouldn't hang on it.

The culprit is the merge info in the patch. The latest splitpatch.rb saves it into the file ..patch (attached), while the existing splitpatch hangs on it.
The only other difference is that the current splitpatch.rb preserves the Index: lines in the resulting patches.
